Summary.
The haunting of Hill House hasn't yet been scary, but it has been very interesting. There is a man that goes by the name of Dr. Montaque, and he is the owner of the haunted house. He has invited people to come over his house, and people have turned him down, because they found it weird that they are visiting a strange person with no life house. Some have heard about this house and decides not to go. Overall only one person for sure is coming to his house out of the ten that he invited. It's ironic that the only people that are coming to the house are people that have no life, people that aren't married, people that are basically lonely and just don't have anything to do. Dr. Montague hasn't told those that he invited that the house is haunted because he didn't want to scar them, but it turns out that they were already scared for no reason.
Eleanor had a long dialogue with her sister and brother in law about her taking the car on her long trip to Hill House. They didn't let Eleanor take the car after all, but what Happened was that she took the car without their consent. Eleanor has had a long trip to Hill House and she had trouble getting into the gates that were the entrance to the Hill House. Blowing the horn for a long time is what Eleanor did to get the attention of someone to come out and open the gate. The person that came to the gate was a man named Dudley, and he was a caretaker for the Hill House. Dudley gave Eleanor a hard time. When Eleanor insisted that he opened the gate, he did, and he told here that she was going to wish that he had never open the gate for her. As soon as Eleanor saw the Hill House, she said that it was vile. Now I'm just so scared to even read the rest, but I want to, rather I have to.
Theodora is another person that had been invited to the Hill House and her and Eleanor have been friends to the point where they find out that they are cousins. Eleanor was so amused that she wasn't going to be the only one in the house and she became more comfortable being there. They went to explore the outside of the Hill House and then came back in after the scare of a rabbit. When Eleanor and Theodora came back, they met the owner of the house and also Dr. Montague, the one that they have been waiting to see since they got there.
The Dr.Montague and his three visitors are talking forever. Dr.Montague asks if they would like to leave and to my surprise everyone said no. They are discussing how Dr. Montague found the house and why he rented it. Which is because he heard about it so, he wanted to bring people along to experience the house with him. Dr.Montague was talking to his visitor about how the house isn't haunted, and that it was built along time ago. No one wants to buy the house, because people are scared of it and people tell others not to go and see it.
Quote
"you're as hard to get into as heaven"
(Jackson 61)
Reaction
This quote was said by Eleanor. Eleanor couldn't get into the gate the led to the Hill House, for the fact that the caretaker wouldn't let her in because he didn't know who she was. I thought that this quote was funny, and interesting. If you think about it, heaven is a hard place to get into. In order to get to heaven you have to live right. When I read this quote, I was surprised at the fact that I didn't believe that the Hill House would be hard to get into. I though the Hill House would have been like opened arms ready to hug you.
