CHARACTERS- Lord Canterville, the Otis family, the duke of Cheshire, the ghost
NARRATION- 3rd person narrator
PLOT- Lord Canterville lived in Canterville Chase with his family. In their house there was a noisy ghost who made them frightened and they couldn't sleep at all. For this reason Lord Canterville sold the house to an American family composed by the parents, two twins and a beautiful girl, Virginia. They were not worried at all about ghosts and during the night the children created many tricks to disturb the ghost. the Canterville ghost became very sad because he knew that he couldn't scare anymore. one day Virginia, talking with him, understood that he was regretful about his past cruel life. So she praied for him and the ghost could finally die.
PERSONAL COMMENT- I really liked this book because it is a parody of thriller tales and its plot is very unusual. I love Oscar Wilde's writing style, so it was very easy to read it.
Alessandra Porcari
I totally agree with Alessandra i found it very easy to read, I also liked a lot the plot which is really unusual as Alessandra said. I will always advice this book to my friends i liked this as much as "the picture of Dorian Gray" .
