No, no-there are depths, depths! The more I go over it, the more I see in it, and the more I see in it, the more I fear. I don't know what I don't see-what I don't fear!
The character's reflection reveals a profound sense of unease and the complexity of perception. As they delve deeper into an experience or situation, they uncover layers of meaning that not only provoke their curiosity but also intensify their anxiety. This suggests that the unknown holds frightening possibilities that may be beyond their current understanding.
In "The Turn of the Screw," the fear of the unseen becomes a central theme. The more the character explores their thoughts and feelings, the more they realize that there may be even darker and more unsettling truths lurking just outside of their awareness. This illustrates how fear can stem from uncertainty and the limitations of human perception.
