Something I felt throughout is how real is everything going on? My suspicions lie in that the only time something is manifested, it is around Eleanor. Anyone not around her is unaffected. And when stuff happens, everyone else seems to be far more calm than they should be. Eleanor often even asks herself, "am I the only one who is afraid?". As such, I almost feel it is like the story we read a few weeks back called the Daemon Lover where the woman certainly feels like what is happening is real, but everyone around her is quite amused by her.
What do you guys think, could this be the same sort of thing where she's the crazy one and everyone else plays along? Is everyone else even real?
Honestly, this story left me with a lot more questions than answers. haha.

That's a really interesting take on things... but I don't know. If it's ALL just happening to Eleanor, why are they in the house together? I mean, SOMETHING has to be going on to have drawn them all there in the first place, and although the paint/blood thing with Theodora's stuff has Eleanor's name in it, Theodora still freaks out. So unless Eleanor drove her to madness or something--or imagined that part?--I feel like a lot of things are really happening. Except then I don't know how all of Theo's stuff is suddenly okay later... okay, really, I thought I had an answer but now I have more questions, too. (Haha.)
