Answer 2

The story has elements that both amuse and petrify.

• The story consists of many comedic elements. For example - Washington Otis's use of Pinkerton's stain removal to clean the bloodstain and Mrs Otis's suggestion of a tincture are both intended to make the reader laugh.

• There are, also a lot of scary references. When the Otis family buys Canterville Chase, Lord Canterville claims the house is haunted and tells a terrifying story to justify why he is selling.
• The Dowager Duchess, his great-aunt, was also startled into a rage when she noticed skeleton hands on her shoulders while getting ready for dinner.

• In conclusion, it makes the reader laugh while also making them feel anxious, and in certain cases, both emotions at the same time.
