  The Custom of the Country by Edith Wharton is a scathing social satire that follows Undine Spragg, a beautiful, ambitious woman from the American Midwest who relentlessly pursues wealth, status, and power in early 20th-century New York and European high society. Marrying and discarding men with calculated ease, Undine manipulates the customs of the elite to climb the social ladder, indifferent to the emotional wreckage she leaves behind. Wharton exposes the moral emptiness of a world where love, marriage, and identity are commodified. A ruthless critique of greed and gender roles, the novel portrays a woman who wins the game of society—only to find it hollow. A masterpiece of realism and psychological depth.

  The story is about a family who moves to a castle haunted by the ghost of a dead nobleman, who killed his wife and was starved to death by his wife's brothers. The home of the Canterville Ghost was the ancient 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 characterise the setting. Wilde mixes the macabre with comedy, juxtaposing devices from traditional English ghost stories such as creaking floorboards, clanking chains, and ancient prophecies.
