Question

what role does supernatural play int lives of Hallock

Answer 1

At the Ouija board party at Lavinia’s house, Mrs Laura’s Ouija board reveals that a woman by the name of Helen wants to communicate with John. The Ouija boards of other women make a similar revelation. Helen’s attempt to communicate with John (she wants him to tell his wife to get rid of the Ouija board) is misconstrued as a proof of Liaison with Helen. Lavinia is smitten with jealousy; she decides to divorce her husband. The ghost thus becomes the unwitting cause of a serious rift between husband and wife. The situation takes a dramatic turn. Lavinia enters John’s room to tell him that she was leaving for good. John’s furtive glances and strange gestures aroused her suspicion that he is hiding somebody. It can be none other than Helen, she thought. In a furious mood, she pushed her husband to confront Helen. She was pleasantly surprised to find that Helen was a ghost and not a woman of ravishing beauty for whom her husband has fallen. Her fears were allayed and she fell in the arms of her husband.      The guest this time saved their marriage and reunited them.
