11. 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.”

12. 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 doesn’t
exist.

13. 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.

14. Washington Otis
Washington: The Otis’s' oldest son; “he is a
fire-haired rather good-looking young man;
gardenias and peerage are his only
weaknesses.”

15. 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.

16. 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.

17. 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.

18. 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

English man of the most
punctilious honour.”
