Hi! I was wondering if you could tell me if Conner Murphy from Dear Evan Hansen is a ghost?

(view spoiler)[I assume you're asking about the novel and not the broadway show. In the show, no, Connor is not a ghost; Connor dies and then only returns as a figment of Evan's imagination. In the book, Connor's story continues after his death. That is to say, we still hear from him directly. What form he takes in death, if any, is open for debate. Some may think of him as a ghost, but the novel never states that. There are other possible interpretations. I'm sorry if this answer isn't definitive enough, but it's the only answer I'm willing to give on the topic. Thanks for checking out the book! (hide spoiler)]

I love how you developed the character of Connor Murphy and that a lot of what we learn about him from the musical isn't fully true. However, I noticed that in one of these instances (the chapter where Connor denies his sister's claims about him threatening her) what actually happened is still ambiguous. What do you think happened? Was Connor terrorizing her? Or was he made into the bad guy like with Mrs. G and Evan?
