The story of the Canterville Ghost takes place in an old English
country house, Canterville Chase, which has all the accoutrements
of a traditional haunted house. Descriptions of the wainscoting,
the library panelled in black oak, and the armour in the hallway
characterize the Gothic setting. Wilde mixes the macabre with
comedy, juxtaposing devices from traditional English ghost stories
such as creaking floorboards, clanking chains, and ancient
prophecies with symbols of contemporary American consumerism.
