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 run 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, etc.
