* SparedByTheAdaptation: Albeit only in the most morbid sense. [[spoiler:The final line of the book - "whatever walked there, walked alone" - echoes the opening chapter, and suggests that far from "coming home" Eleanor has simply been goaded into destroying herself (Also suggested by the way Hill House sadistically breaks its possession of her in the last few seconds of her life, just long enough for her to experience terror and futility in her final moments). The film takes a slightly more nuanced approach, with Hill House attempting to influence her right up to the end, injecting a note of selflessness into her demise (as it was partly motivated by swerving to avoid Mrs Markway), and also implying that she has achieved some kind of afterlife within Hill House by altering the last line to "we who walk here, walk alone."]]

* AmbiguousDisorder: Nell is almost painfully desperate just to belong somewhere, and seems to have pervasive morbid thoughts (she sleeps on her left side because she heard it wears out the heart faster). Her emotional state is also rather unstable, as she jumps from being totally petrified of the house to feeling at peace there.
