Exactly how steamy is this story?
PG
Sex isn't overtly mentioned in this novel—it is, after all, a Victorian story about children.
But The Turn of the Screw gets a "P" added to that "G" simply because of the implied ick factor. There are a lot of secretly icky, weird feelings in the mix here…most of all, between Miles and the Governess.
Sure, nobody even mentions sex – the topic was forbidden in polite fiction at the time – but we have to wonder what the characters are really thinking about each other.
