in the hunger games audiobooks the narrator actually sings all the songs instead of just reading the lyrics out, something i find myself really appreciating and valuing a lot more as i'm forced to sit through whatever the hell this is

id: Perhaps the greatest horror of Jackson's haunting is not that the house seduces Eleanor into literally sacrificing herself for the sake of belonging, but that having done so, it still does not let her belong. Eleanor may imagine herself to be joining the ghostly children who try to enter her room, sing to her, hold her, and ask her for help, but this promised intimacy is as delusive as any other in Hill House. In Kahane's terms, Eleanor has given her life to become "everything" and has become nothing. The house does not want her any more than anyone else does; it wants her dead. After all, whatever walks in Hill House walks alone.

id: All of these manifestations and descriptions combine to make the Hill House of Jackson's final version a house of delusions of family. Hill House will be glad to give you a hand to hold in the night, someone to be there, a sense of belonging. When it is too late, you will realize that all along you were really alone, clinging to your enemy–or to nothing at all. The house's furnishings have "hands everywhere," Luke says: "Little soft glass hands, curving out to you, beckoning-" (209). So do its ghosts. In a scene that Jackson marks as containing the "key" to the book (1D), Eleanor clutches Theodora's hand as she works up the courage to cry out against the torture of a ghostly child. She suddenly looks up to see Theodora on the other side of the room. She screams, "Whose hand was I holding?" (162-163). The horror behind Eleanor's scream is not that she was alone in the dark, but that she believed herself to have someone there.

eleanor simultaneously envies and hates everything that theo represents, she is enthralled and disgusted by her, theo is what she could have been in another world and she cannot cope with that realisation
