Key Topics to Revise
1
Main Story: Plot and Key Events
- Conrad asks about old legends attached to the castle.
- Baroness Gruebel tells a legend that when anyone dies in the castle, dogs and wild beasts howl through the night.
- The Baroness wrongly believes the legend is false because no howling was heard when the old mother-in-law died in the castle.
2
Characters and Their Roles
- Conrad is a prosperous merchant and the one poetically-dispositioned member of a highly practical family.
- Conrad sympathises with the governess and says that the death-music is not to be bought for any amount of money.
- Baroness Gruebel is practical, doubtful, and dismissive of the legend.
3
Themes and Literary Ideas
- Family pride is shown through the governess's final acceptance of her identity as a von Cernogratz.
- Truth versus falsehood is an important theme because the Baroness gives the wrong version of the legend while Amalie gives the correct one.
- Irony appears strongly in the last newspaper notice, which calls Amalie only a valued friend and hides her true family name.
4
Important Language Points and Vocabulary
- Wit means clever and often amusing expression.
- Prim describes someone who is very correct and proper in behaviour.
