From the story 'The Centerville Ghost'
Answers
Sir Simon is the titular character of The Canterville Ghost. He has been an inhabitant Canterville Chase all his life and its ghost since 1584, when, for unexplained reasons, he killed his wife (leaving the infamous bloodstain on the sitting-room floor) and was subsequently murdered by his brothers-in-law, who starved him to death and left his body entombed in a secret chamber within the estate. Sir Simon treats his haunting of Canterville Chase as though it were a job, and it is a position he takes quite seriously. To this end, he has created several gruesome caricatures of his own making, each with its own unique assortment of props, costumes, and scare tactics in order to scare unsuspecting members of the Canterville family. For three hundred years, the Canterville family has lived in absolute terror of Sir Simon, and some Cantervilles have even killed themselves as a result of Sir Simon’s antics. For this very reason, Lord Canterville and his family declined to live in Canterville Chase, making its sale to the Otis family possible. However, the Americans are so fundamentally different from the aristocracy Sir Simon is used to, that he finds himself unable to repeat his past successes. They seem utterly immune to his strategies and, through their constant foiling of his plans, quickly wear him down into a state of physical sickness and exhaustion. Feeling increasingly weary and irrelevant, Sir Simon eventually asks Mr. Otis’ daughter, Virginia, for help—a request that ultimately leads to him finding peace and eternal rest. This salvation was predicted by a prophecy inscribed on the library window of Canterville Chase, which also stated that the property’s barren almond tree would again blossom once Sir Simon finally passed on.
