Scene Rewrite in Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House
Introduction
The assessment considers scene four of Chapter 9 of the novel (Jackson 194). The descriptive
scene looks at how things progressed after the final endeavor of Dr. Montague. The consideration
looks at the team dispersing and pursuing other interests in life. No one is considered to be
influenced by the events that took place in the Hill House. The refined consideration and my take
on the story are about the following occurrences, having collected evidence of their interest. The
research they were all subjected to needed to be defined, and only Dr. Montague has been
referenced, only retiring as he waited to publish the scholarly works on the psychic phenomenon
of the Hill House.
Description
The conversation between Mrs. Sanderson took a turn as she wished the company would have
stayed longer; she had told the family lawyer. She did not mind the company; the environment
had been so quiet before Dr. Montague and his crew arrived. The presentation of the situation
was that Dr. Montague had underlying theories that needed to be investigated, and his team was
becoming accustomed to the surroundings. The need to leave resulted from limited exposure, and
they all needed a change of scenery. The collected data and events they had experienced were
horrifying, yet made them more intrigued by the causation. Luke was terrified yet seemed
determined to continue the mystery more than ever. Dr. Montague's interest grew considerably as

he considered contemporary theories of the phenomena of the Hill House. The original ideas
paved the way for new scholarly considerations that needed to be investigated. Retiring was not
an option now as he would lose access to the granted entitlement of the research. And the events
unfolded as they took their sweet time spending as much time in the house.
The House in the Hill stood tall amidst the brightly lit moon. Once gathering dust and cold, the
neat floors looked fresh and clean. The horrifying silence was finally considered to vacate the
premises. The hedges had overgrown, the fences had not been mended for long, and the lawn
required serious hours of manpower. Yet the interior walls clicked and cracked as they settled
into place. They, too, wondered how they had found a new resident. For it had been once defined
that evil had descended on the place. But the occupants were curious about the said evil. The
doors, once shut, could be opened again, for the Hill House was never silent again, and whoever
walked in there would not walk alone again!
