Back to The Turn of the Screw
From "The Turn of the Screw" by James, Henry
Flora
The governess's younger charge, a beautiful and seemingly innocent girl.
Core Belief
"She seems to value pleasure and affection above all else. She also appears to believe in the power of denial."
Worldview
She seems to exist in a world of fantasy and play, but this may be a facade. She might be aware of the darker forces at play but chooses to ignore them.
Personality
Sweet, docile, and ethereal, Flora appears to be the embodiment of childlike innocence. However, her behavior is often unsettling, and she may be concealing a deeper awareness of the supernatural events at Bly.
In Their Own Words
"Oh, of course, of course!"
"You naughty: where have you been?"
"Take me away, take me away—oh, take me away from her!"
