Episode description
[close reading] Ambiguity and meta-ambiguity in Turn of the Screw. Back to Dworkin: what does it mean to say a work should be the best that it could be? Does that mean that it should give us our preferred outcome? Cases of King Lear and Great Expectations considered. The idea of changing your taste, or learning what would make it best. Then back to thinking about Turn of the Screw.
