章节摘录

  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).  ……
