The term 'Blithe Spirit' is a play written by Noël Coward in 1941. It is a comedy about a socialite and novelist, Charles Condomine, who invites an eccentric medium and clairvoyant, Madame Arcati, to his house to conduct a seance. The term ELAN, which is a four letter word, is defined as 'enthusiastic and vigorous spirit or enthusiasm'. This term is fitting for the play as it describes the energy and enthusiasm of the characters in the play.
