Character Sketch of Virginia
Daughter of Mrs. and Mr. Otis, Virginia is a fifteen year
old girl. She is very sweet, active and lovely. Through the story we come to
know that Virginia is a sporty girl who loves horse riding and had even a
race on her pony, winning at the end. She loves to go outings and is quite
sensitive to the beauty of natural surroundings.
Virginia is quite helpful by nature. She is the only member
in the Otis family who does not tease the ghost. On the contrary, she comforts him when she finds him in a terrible state in his chamber. It is purity of her soul that the ghost makes a request before her to pray for him. Her heart is filled with pity for the ghost when she comes to know he has not eaten anything and has not slept for three hundred years.
The way she volunteers herself to help the ghost, speaks volumes of her charitable nature. Quite fearlessly she faces all the horrible sights and leads the ghost to the Garden of Death. Thus, by feeling pity and
sad for her; and praying for the ghost, she brings peace and deliverance to his aching soul. Towards the end of the story, we also come to know that Virginia is quite grateful too. She pays a visit to the ghost’s grave to pay her tribute and express her gratitude for having made her understand the importance of life, death and love.
