THE GHOST
The Ghost The ghost: It is the ghost of the castle for centuries. He was Sir Simon de Canterville and died in 1584, his spirit still haunts the Chase. His aspect is very terrible: He is an old man, his eyes were as red burning coals, long grey hair fell over his shoulders in matted coils, his garments, which were of antique cut, were soiled and ragged, and from his wrists and ankles hung heavy manacles and rusty gyves.
Mr. Otis Mr. Otis: He is the father of the Otis family. He is a middle-agedAmerican minister; he is determinate, inflexible, rational, and practical , in conclusion a true American. In fact at the beginning he believes that the ghost doesnt exist.
Mrs. Otis Mrs. Otis:The mother isn't scared of the ghost and even asks him if he wants a remedy for his stomach. She is a very pretty middle-aged woman with fine eyes and a superb profile.
Washington Otis Washington: The Otiss' oldest son; he is a fire-haired rather good-looking young man; gardenias and peerage are his only weaknesses.
The Twins The Twins: They are usually called the Stars and Stripes; they are delightful boys and the only true republicans of the family. These children always play tricks on the ghost and make him depressed and desperate. All along the story, they imagine jokes and even dress up as ghosts.
Virginia E. Otis Virginia: She is a little girl of fifteen, lovely as a fawn, and with a fine freedom, in her large blue eyes. She is kind and with welling heart. The daughter is the only one in the family who is scared by the ghost. She never speaks except to the ghost, at the end of the story.
Duke Of Chesire Duke of Cheshire: He is a handsome young desperately in love with the fifteen-year old Virginia Otis. However, his guardians pack him off to Eton, and he must wait to marry. His devotion is rewarded, and Virginia consents to become the Duchess of Cheshire.
Mrs. Umney: The old house-keeper of Canterville Chase; is very terrified by the ghost and tries to warn the family. Lord Canterville: A respectable descendent of the Canterville family, that was the owner of the Canterville Chase. He is an English man of the most punctilious honour.
