“He has changed himself into something awful, only by hiding his face” “A person who watched the interview between the dead and living scrupled not to affirm that, at the instant when the clergyman's features were disclosed [as he leaned over her and the veil moved] the corpse had slightly shuddered, rustling the shroud” The tone of the story minister’s black veil has a mysterious feeling. As description describes, "When Mr. Hooper came, the first thing that their eyes rested on was the same horrible black veil, which had added deeper gloom to the funeral, and could portend nothing but evil to the wedding. Such was its immediate effect on the guests that a

The narrator suggests that the figure of the ghost just serves as a warning to not bully anyone because people are complex beings who act through emotions, she states, “My intentions are to veer you away from teasing and humiliating little chubby Chinese girls like myself” (16-17). This suggests that the ghost story is representative of a moral lesson. Gurba and Nguyen, different from Chin, shape the identity of the ghost in a different way from Chin’s use of the ghost as a moral lesson about revenge. In Gurba’s novel and Nguyen’s novel, ghosts function as representations of memories and people’s attempt to repress them from their memories. Arguably, both novels argue that ghost create the identities of people especially when one tries to repress them from their lives.

Simply put, Invisible Man builds a broader narrative about vulnerability and disillusionment. Through his conversations with Ras the Exhorter, Mary, and members of the Brotherhood, the narrator lifts his blinding veil and learns to unravel the binding expectations that marked his past—his grandfather’s departing words and the idea of the self-traitor (Ellison 559). Throughout the text, Ralph Ellison’s prose illuminates the interiority of his characters—their depth and inner voice. “That invisibility to which I refer occurs because of a peculiar disposition of the eyes of those with whom I come in contact.
The governess is insane because she is the only person at Bly to witness the ghosts of Peter Quint and Miss Jessel. During her employment, the Governess claims to experience several ghostly interactions, however no one else could relate to her sightings. For example, after claiming to see two ghosts, the Governess confides in Mrs. Grose and later says “she herself had seen nothing, not the shadow of a shadow, and nobody in the house but the governess was in the governess’s plight,” (James 24). Mrs. Grose is eliminated as a witness and cannot argue if the paranormal activity at Bly was real. Since no one can support the governess’s claims, then presumably, they were hallucinated by
The Governess was beginning to figure out that she is the only one that can see the ghosts and starts to question her sanity more than before. Her sanity slowly starts to crumble. This was the proof she needed. She needed to know if Miss Grose sees the ghosts too and it turns out that she
The Invisible Man understands that Clifton was as much entrapped by the system as he was. The inventor of the system is to blame, not the person who has to work with the system in order to succeed. The Sambo doll itself, that the Invisible Man picks up, represents the puppet-like control wielded over people to make them act as the very thing that further represses them. This incident causes the Invisible Man to cling further to the ideals of the Brotherhood, seeing it the only way to make himself known and “avoid being empty Sambo dolls”
I believe someone may feel that they are closer to their friends because they are going through the same sort of experiences as someone else. They also may make new friends or become closer friends with one or two people with whom one feels comfortable. You could have a crush on someone or feel that you would like to be a boyfriend / girlfriend. Hair starts growing in new places, certain organs get bigger but most importantly, while one is going through all of these physical changes, one needs to go through mental changes as well.
The governess progressively believes in things around her that are pseudo and assumed. Nobody else at Bly can see the ghosts that she claims even when the children tried to believe her, they just could not see the ghosts she could see. Things slowly but surely fell apart at Bly, and it seemed to start right when the governess made assumptions about the ghosts she had met. The governess had done many things at Bly, but proving her insanity is something she could not
The governess thinks that the kids can see the ghost too, they are just too afraid to admit it. Miles who is persuaded most by the apparition won’t admit that he see’s Peter Quint. By him not admitting that he can see the apparition the people in the household start to think that the governess is going mad. The governess tries to get everyone out of the house, so she can get Miles alone, along with the governess “was already, at the door, hurrying [Mrs. Grose] off. ‘I’ll get it out of him.
