Similarly, the interior of the Hill House is off centre and disjointed. Walter Gilman's room in the Witch House is strangely shaped and represents a passage into a parallel world which Gilman, a mathematician firmly set into the world of scale, first believes to exist only in dreams. ![]() Specifically, both texts are set in a house that is shaped according to a scale unknown and repulsive to humans, suggesting that the architecture of evil is out of scale literally and metaphorically. Lovecraft's ‘The Dreams in the Witch House’ (1932) and Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House (1959) embody the Gothic idea of subversion through their use of space. ![]()

She had read an early English "translation" from the university's library. Now, of course, the Hugo play ends (minus a death aria that strains credibility given the soprano's sucking chest wound) just as disastrously. When I read the paper I was bemused by her most startling discovery: That for no reason she could discern, Verdi had transformed the happy ending of the original play into a horrifying and grim denouement in which the heroine dies in a sack. When I was teaching a college course in the history of 19thc music at an excellent liberal arts school, one of my students wrote a term paper in which a comparison with respect to plot and characterization of Verdi's opera Rigoletto and Le Roi s'amuse, the Victor Hugo play on which it is based, figured prominently.
