Eel Marsh House symbolizes tragedy in the novel. Eel Marsh House is the site of Nathaniel Pierston's tragic death, for which the ghost of his mother, Jennet Humfrye, haunts Crythin Gifford. Eel Marsh House envelops Arthur in this tragedy, making him empathize with the woman in black while also fearing her malevolence.
