The Haunting Of Hill House

INSTRUCTIONS:

The paper should be just from the books  Analyze the setting of the novel—Discuss the significance of Hill House. What is the importance of the house? What sets it apart from a ‘real’ home? How does the house create a feeling of uncanniness? What is its history and does this effect our perception of the house? Is Hill House evil or made out to be evil? Please provide a detailed description explaining how the house, architecture, past accounts, and history are connected and create an atmosphere of uncanniness.   Analyze the character Eleanor in The Haunting of Hill House—How is she described? What is the purpose of this description? What is the effect of Hill House on her? In what ways does her disposition change or improve, how and why? Does Eleanor experience an episode or is there a supernatural excuse? Illustrate how Eleanor is presented in the novel. How is this shown? What is the purpose? Are there any underlying meanings to her character? How does she change, and why? (You can also make a connection to Theodora and in what ways they are connected?) Your paper should include: A focused, precise argument that is narrow enough to be well developed and supported, but significant enough to bring to light an interesting idea or commentary about the literary elements and interpretation that you choose to focus on. A thoughtful and complex thesis statement that incorporates evidence directly from the text. A well-organized structure that includes a compelling introduction, topic sentences, transitions, and focused body paragraphs. Textual evidence and quotes Show—don’t tell! In your paper you should avoid summarizing or paraphrasing; instead, pay close attention to the author’s use of language in order to explain how he/she achieves a specific effect or expresses an idea.
