Suffering as a result of ghosts in the mind: The Turn of the Screw, The Innocents and The Babadook

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper takes a closer look at movies The Babadook (2014), The Innocents (1961) and the novella The Turn of the Screw (1898), and investigates which properties of the text and narrative lead the main female characters to believe they are protecting themselves from evil and acting in the best interest of the children when in fact they are doing the exact opposite. The goal of the paper is to compare and analyze the cognitive processes of the main female characters and compare them to the narrative itself in order to find out if the narrative might stimulate readers and viewers in the same way as the main characters are fooled by their own thoughts and perception of reality. The paper is inspired by Rabinowitz's ideas, which he developed in his paper "Toward a Narratology of Cognitive Flavor" (2015), but focuses on competitiveness expressed in the works between mind-readers and mind-writers as they struggle to achieve stability in what he refers to as fusion texts.
