$\huge\bold\orange{Answer}$

This passage is filled with more gothic imagery, from the shadowy darkness of the night to the faint, creepy sounds. If this were a gothic story, one could imagine that Rev. and Mrs. Bunting would be about to discover that their house is haunted by a ghost. However, at this point the genre of the book remains somewhat ambiguous—is it a fantastical story of the supernatural, or something more “real”

Dr. Cuss mentioned that Griffin was sneezing, and thus the fact that Bunting hears a sneeze strongly indicates that it is Griffin who has broken into the house. The sneeze is a sinister and eerie indicator of Griffin’s presence, but also a sign of his vulnerability, reminding us of his mortality through his apparent illness.
