Abstract
This thesis will analyse the portrayal of innocence in Henry James’s 1898 Gothic novella, The Turn of the Screw, and its two film adaptations: The Innocents (1961), directed by Jack Clayton, and The Turn of the Screw (2009), directed by Tim Fywell. The aim of the thesis is to examine the concept of innocence in its broader late Victorian context and its uses in late Victorian Gothic literature, and to compare it to its uses in contemporary film adaptations. The analysis will be carried out through the close reading of the novella, with particular focus on the interconnection between innocence, sexuality and evil. This will be followed by an examination of the two aforementioned film adaptations of James’s ghost story, where special attention will be paid to the ways in which the films approach and tackle the themes of innocence and moral corruption.
