How does Hill create a sense of isolation in
the novel
- Eel Marsh house is isolated in the marsh
- "It was an ugly, satanic-looking thing,
like some species of sea-vulture."
- At the end of the Nine Live
Causeway
- "the most astonishing situated house I had
ever seen or could ever conceivably have
imagined, isolated, uncompromising but
also, I thought, handsome
- Young Arthur has no family in Crythin
Gifford and no one will reveal anything to
him about Eel Marsh House,
- The novel is written in first person - this
shows him being more alone than if it
was written in third person
- Even when Arthur is an old man, he still lives in an
isolated area
- "there is an air of remoteness
and isolation which makes us feel
ourselves to be much further from
civilization."
- "We are but two miles from a
good-sized village, seven from the
principal market town"
