The novel by Henry James The Turn of the Screw is twofold. In the first chapter, the story begins at a Christmas party where the guests hear the housekeeper's story of fear and fighting. This story is called "two turns of the screw" by an anonymous guest at the Christmas party because the reader asks if he wants to hear a story about two children instead of just one (3). In the governess's tale, he recounts her duty as guardian of two rich children, Flora and Miles, who live at Bly, a large estate, with their unnamed, invisible uncle and Mrs. Groose, the governess. We never see him in the story because he tells the housekeeper not to disturb him. As the story unfolds, the governess takes care of two children, Miles and Flora, both of whom have good hearts and are responsible enough to be independent. . She loves them both and respects their independence, but since she sees herself as a beacon of hope, she decides to take matters into her own hands. When she sees a ghost, whom she initially mistakes for an intruder, who she believes to be the former governess because she writes: “Flora was so feverish that an illness was perhaps imminent; she had spent a night of extreme agitation, a night agitated above all by fears which had as their subject not her former governess but very much her current governess” (102). At first she tries to dismiss the idea of ​​a ghost, but later she sees yet another figure. Afterwards, she speaks to Mrs. Groose who informs her about Miss Jessel and Peter Quint.

It's like when you get a thrill watching another girl walk down a flight of stairs into imminent danger. The two children, Miles and Flora, are the most relative in the story as they live under the guidance of an overprotective and crazy governess. Flora is described as a charming and intelligent girl who, after telling the governess that she sees no ghosts, becomes suspicious of her and betrays her trust. While Miles is described as a shy 10-year-old boy who trusts the governess's advice and believes he was being controlled by the ghost of Peter Quint. Both of them are probably the most sensible characters in the story because, although they see the world through the eyes of children, they act calmly and are only afraid when they think the governess sees things..
