A Passage to India 2- Compare

Hayley Gillespie

In A Passage to India and in The Turn of the Screw people have visions of people that are not actually there. In The Turn of the Screw we see this with the governess. She claims to see ghosts and apparitions of people that may just be hallucinations. It is never exactly confirmed by any of the other characters that the ghosts she sees are real. A Passage to India also features a ghostly figure that could be a hallucination. Adela admits in her trial that she does not believe that the figure she saw was Aziz or the guide. She describes a shadowing figure that had her trapped but never touched her. No one can confirm this incident and Fielding even suggests to her that the figure she saw was just a hallucination from feeling unwell.
