write a character sketch of Virginia
Answers
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.
