A distinct chapter that stands out in my mind would be chapter five. This chapter is taken place after the governess sees the mysterious man in the window. During this chapter, the governess is talking to Mrs. Grose about the incident. The governess describes the mystery man as a red haired man with a pale face, tall stature, and does not wear a hat. Mrs. Grose quickly identifies the man as Peter Quint. The governess seems to find Peter Quint frightening but attractive at the same time. This is a significant chapter because the governess finds out who the man is. She first saw Peter Quint on top of a house tower. They both exchange a stare that seems to never break while the governess is taking a walk.
