The ghost of sir simmon canterville emerges as a victim tormented by the otis family.justify with examples.(The canterville Ghost)

Despite the ghost's efforts to appear in the most gruesome guises, the family refuses to be frightened, and Sir Simon feels increasingly helpless and humiliated. When Mrs Otis notices a mysterious red mark on the floor, she simply replies that she does "not at all care for blood stains in the sitting room". When Mrs Umney informs Mrs Otis that the blood stain is indeed evidence of the ghost and cannot be removed, Washington Otis, the eldest son, suggests that the stain will be removed with Pinkerton's Champion Stain Remover and Paragon Detergent: a quick fix, like the Tammany Rising Sun Lubricator, and a practical way of dealing with the problem. The Otis twins and Washington Otis like their parents are nonchalant about the Ghost. Instead they take it upon themselves to plague the Ghost. The ghost was scared of the twins and that said a lot about the intelligent and innovative ways in which the twins always managed to stay two steps ahead of the poor apparition. First, the twins brought their pea-shooters on the night of the ghost's first encounter with the family and at once discharged two pellets on him. Once on reaching the room of the twins, he flung the door wide open wishing to make an effective entry when a heavy jug of water fell right down on him, wetting him to the skin and just missing his shoulder by a couple of inches.Mr. And Mrs. Otis are the quintessential modern American, who accept the presence of the Ghost with incredulity.
