NYC

The map printings drawings about "New York" refer Henry James world. "The Turn of the Screw" and "The Ambassadors", need to be deciphered before they can be interpreted or even understood.
The complexity of James's style comes not only from his challenging vocabulary and syntax, but from his deliberate use of ambiguity. In the most famous example of this ambiguity, James frequently uses masculine pronouns in "The Turn of the Screw" without clearly identifying the antecedents, leaving readers wondering whether "he" is the boy in the story or a ghost the boy seems to know.
