hi,
im already got a few literary forms and features but if anyone else has ideas that would be great!
Just as in the churchyard with Miles, the whole thing was upon us. Much as I had made of the fact that this name had never once, between us, been sounded, the quick, smitten glare with which the child's face now received it fairly likened my breach of the silence to the smash of a pane of glass[M.S1] . It added to the interposing cry, as if to stay the blow, that Mrs. Grose, at the same instant, uttered over my violence-- the shriek of a creature scared, or rather wounded, which, in turn[M.S2] , within a few seconds, was completed by a gasp of my own. I seized my colleague's arm. "She's there, she's there!"[M.S3]
Miss Jessel stood before us on the opposite bank exactly as she had stood the other time, and I remember, strangely, as the first feeling now produced in me, my thrill of joy at having brought on a proof. She was there, and I was justified; she was there, and I was neither cruel nor mad. She was there for poor scared Mrs. Grose, but she was there most for Flora; and no moment of my monstrous time was perhaps so extraordinary as that in which I consciously threw out to her--[M.S4] with the sense that, pale and ravenous demon as she was, she would catch and understand it--an inarticulate message of gratitude.
[M.S1]Metaphor.
[M.S2]Turning; the fundamental linguistic leitmotif in the novella (The Turn of the Screw)
[M.S3]Repetition.
[M.S4]Caesura; metrical interruption which causes a sense of discontinuity.
