The Canterville Ghost is set in the English countryside in the late 19th century. Most of the story takes place in Canterville Chase, which is described as an old mansion with secret rooms and passageways, long corridors stained glass windows, and oak paneling. Pictures of long-dead Canterville ancestors, ancient tapestries, and a suit of armor add to the medieval-like setting. Overall, it seems to fit the stereotype of a haunted house.The book follows fairy tale conventions and Wilde introduces Virginia Otis, a fairy-tale type heroine. Otis must believe that there is a soul worth saving in the murderous and grisly Sir Simon. Her actions, however, lead to a happy ending. Otis marries a Duke and receives a casket of valuable jewels from the Ghost

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wills Wilde was an Irish poet and playwright. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of the most popular playwrights in London in the early 1890s. Oscar Wilde is celebrated for his sharp wit, literary brilliance, and unique perspective on society. His works often blend humour with deep social commentary. Beyond “The Picture of Dorian Gray,” his plays like “The Importance of Being Earnest” and “An Ideal Husband” showcase his mastery of dialogue and comedic timing. Wilde's life was also marked by his flamboyant personality and tumultuous relationships, culminating in his imprisonment for gross indecency due to his sexual orientation. This experience profoundly affected his later works and his worldview.
