章節(jié)摘錄

　　Commentators have so often cited the various sexual shadings of the Gov-erness‘s visions that it seems almost shameful to rehearse them， but every sighting of the ghosts includes a potentially sexualimplication: Quint’s phal-lic appearance takes place just as the Governess wonders if she is to see her desirable employer; the Governess sees Miss Jessel in communion with Flo-ra as Flora makes a toy boat by sticking a mast-like stick into a flat piece ofwood. This is truest in the final scene， where the Governess‘s forcing Miles to view the apparition of Quint - “the devil，” “the hideous author of our woe”?。?8 8） -　is rendered in a language suffused with double entendres （“witha moan of joy， I enfolded， I drew him close”　[85]） and energized by orgias-tic， superhot syntax. What is interestingly anomalous .to these exclusively sexual readings is the presence of an equally inappropriate language: that of a cold yet egomaniacal scientist. In the final， fatal confrontation with Miles，she is “so determined to have all my proof”: contradicting utterly her earli-　　er attempt to keep the specter from Miles’s sight， she requires him to viewQuint “for the demonstration of my work.” Both qualities - the eroticism，the unnatural intellectual removal - are functions of egotism， as the Gov-erness is by now far more concerned with her own dramas than with pro-tecting her charges. Flora goes mad and Miles dies in her arms; she imagines the latter as a creature hurtling over an abyss:　“i caught him， yes， l held him- it may be imagined with what a passion” and yet “his little heart， dispos-sessed， had stopped” （88）.　　……
