| Summary | "The Two Magics: The Turn of the Screw, Covering End" by Henry James is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work presents a supernatural narrative that delves into themes of innocence and malevolence, centering around the enigmatic character of a governess who is hired to care for two children at a remote estate. As she navigates her duties, she faces the haunting presence of malevolent apparitions that threaten the children's well-being. At the start of the story, a group of friends gathers around a fire, sharing eerie tales. One of them, Douglas, hints at a particularly ghastly story involving two children and a dreadful visitation that shook a child and her mother. His intrigue piques the guests' curiosity, leading to the promise of sharing Douglas's unsettling tale, which is intricately connected to the governess. The narrative unfolds as Douglas prepares to read the manuscript of a deceased governess who experienced a haunting at the estate of Bly, where ominous events involving the children are set to transpire. The opening thoroughly establishes the tone of suspense and the chilling atmosphere that pervades the tale, hinting that the governess's experiences will be both beautiful and horrifying.
