The Turn of the Screw unfolds as a psychological thriller set in a remote English country house, where a newly hired governess arrives to care for two children, Miles and Flora. Haunted by the apparitions of two former servants—the valet Peter Quint and the housekeeper Miss Jessel—who died under mysterious circumstances, the governess becomes increasingly convinced that these ghosts are corrupting the innocent children. As the supernatural presences grow more insistent and the children's behavior becomes increasingly disturbing, the governess struggles to protect them while questioning her own sanity. The work explores the ambiguous boundary between genuine evil and psychological delusion, leaving audiences uncertain whether the ghosts are real manifestations or projections of the governess's troubled mind. Britten's score masterfully captures the mounting tension and moral ambiguity at the heart of this haunting tale.
