Answer 1

Hint: The Canterville Ghost' is a lighthearted story about an English ghost set in Canterville Chase, an ancient English mansion with all the hallmarks of being haunted. The Otis family, an American family of six, moves into the house after being told that it is haunted.

Complete answer:
The novel's ghost was Sir Simon de Canterville. He was Lord Canterville's ancestor. After his sudden death in 1584, he became a ghost, and his body was never found. In 1575, he murdered his wife for failing to roast the buck deliciously.

He had been haunting the Canterville Chase for the last 300 years, scaring many people to death. He kept the bloodstain in shape on a regular basis. However, when the Otis family arrived, he was unable to frighten them in the least. Rather, he was taken aback by their fearlessness and scientific approach. In his entire life, he had never been offended by anyone. In his entire life, he had never been offended by anyone.

He attempted several times to frighten the Otis family, but the twins still foiled all of his schemes. He became so terrified of the twins that he shut himself away in his secret chamber. However, through his interactions with Virginia, we learned of his repentance and sadness for his past wrongdoings. He asked her to assist him in obtaining grace from the angel of death.

Note: In "The Canterville Ghost," Wilde portrays death as both a source of terror and a source of desire. Sir Simon's murder of his wife, Lady Eleanore, and his subsequent execution at the hands of her brothers are both heinous crimes motivated by nefarious motives (the first, selfishness; the second, revenge).
