Writing Style

In the novel The Haunting of Hill House, you begin to read about eerie events that take place like doors shaking, writing on the windows and walls, and creepy sounds. This eerie vibe helps captivate the reader's attention. How the writtter uses words in this novel helps make it one of the best horror books of all time.


Shilrley Jackson shows her unique and off the wall writting skills through this novel in an incredible way. Shilrley writes so that the characters are in a childish monologue showing that there conversations in the novel are less adult like and more child like.


Shirley also had a great way of showing characters pain. Eleanor is a prime example because she is the character that goes through the most pain and realization. Shirley makes readers relate to Eleanor or atleast pity her. with Theodora, Shirley shows foil. She shows this because in the novel Shirley makes Eleanor and Theodora exact oppposites.

This is certainly a novel you will not foget.
