Why did Henry James make references to Udolpho and Jane Eyre in The Turn of the Screw?
Jane Eyre and The Mysteries of Udolpho are both Gothic novels, however, the way they operate is opposite: Udolpho would provide an unexplained reasoning for happenings, whereas Jane Eyre would be rational: Bertha Mason is an actual woman. Further to this, Radcliffe wraps her narratives up neatly at the end, whereas for Bronte the ending carries the unexplainable that brought Jane back to Rochester. This then affects our interpretations of the novella: are the ghosts real, and the Governess' actions therefore rational? Or are they hallucinaitons and therefore the Governess possessed?
