It's always nice to see some of my suspicions are shared... i too felt there was a sexual undertone to the mother's terror surrounding her child, but didn't know if it was just my mind creating it. Of course, Bradbury's (vagueness?subtlety?ambiguity?) was probably intended to inspire our imaginations to dream up the most morbid explanations.<br />In that sense, it reminds me a lot of "Turn of the Screw", because, like this, the narration is made more frightening by what it <i>doesn't</i> say than what it does.<br /><br />Regardless, great analysis, thanks much. :)skweedshttp://audrizzle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339553278765301079.post-90711002529302513872012-02-26T19:24:59.066-08:002012-02-26T19:24:59.066-08:00Thanks, Craig.
