I love it when someone discovers this book. You should read "We Have Always Lived in the Castle", also by Shirley Jackson.
One thing I noticed about Eleanor is that she fabricates much of her life. It's as though her real life has been so mundane and boring that she has to borrow things from other people or places such as the cup of stars from the little girl in the restaurant and the stone lions from the house she passes on the way to Hill House. It makes me wonder just how miserable she is if remaining at Hill House seems better to her than going back to her old life.
