Justifying The Ways Of God To Man: Paradise Lost, Book III
.... scene with the same physical blindness that Milton had. He makes it clear that we could not see it anyway. Instead we must seek inward illumination, which we all possess and need only to utilize.
One cannot be sure that God even places much value on mortal sight. A.B. Chambers (1963) wrote that in Heaven "it is no longer possible to distinguish between physical and spiritual light, between eyes of the body and those of the mind, between vision and wisdom and beautitude. They are all one" (Chambers, 222). Going a step further, we cannot say that physical vision unites with spiritual vision in Heaven because there is no way .....

The Turn Of The Screw: A Psychoanalytic Interpretation
.... the ghosts, the sanity of the governess and the goodness of the children. A psychoanalytic reading of the novel reveals that the governess is a mad sexual hysteric, which, in turn, leads to the ghosts being read as hallucinations or projections of her sexual fears brought about in hysteric fits. This has been proven to be a feasible reading of the text for many reasons, one being that James' sister had been classed as a sexual hysteric. On the whole it is clear that many of the points in the novel that can be interpreted psychoanalytically are related to repressed sexual desires in one way or another.
The most prominent featu .....
