The plot:
the ghost stops renewing the bloodstain
and stayed in his room for 5 days. The
ghost feels weak and tired. In a final
attempt to scare the Twins, he visited
them as a Headless character but a bucket
of water falls on him when he opens The
Twin’s bedroom door They have played
another trick on him. The ghost is more
and more depressed .He is so angry that he
decided to take his revenge. Sir Simon ‘s
state of mind is obvious .He has a nervous
breakdown because The family keeps on him
thus he doesn’t manage to frighten them
anymore so he gives-up the idea of
frightened The American family. They think
he has gone away for good. The ghost
remembers he ‘s one of the young Duke’s
relatives, but he’s too frightened to go
and appear to him.
Comments:
this chapter is so funny because the ghost
is always tricked. Indeed he doesn’t want
to give-up. The Twins are very naughty
with the ghost We’ve never read of a ghost
who doesn’t frighten people, that’s why
it’s so hilarious. In this chapter, the
ghost is more and more depressed.
Sir Simon is in a pitiful state of mind
whereas The Twins are in a happily state
of mind.
Finally we think roles are reversed
because the ghost undergoes tricks by the
twins. Normally, the ghost should frighten
them.
The twins’ attitude is very funny, because
their jokes make this story more exciting,
and a little less boring.
For the twins the ghost deserves the
jokes, because they think that it is right
to ridicule the ghost, since now the
Canterville chase is theirs, and no more
of the ghost.
According to us, the ghost would not
deserve that, because it is his castle,
and he lived in the Canterville Chase for
a long time.
The ghost is not able to frighten the Otis
family because, the Otis are an American
family, and the American people usually
don’ t believe in the traditional storie
of mistery, but they believe in other
values, such as science, progress and
technology.
