Today I am giving you M’s review of I Capture the Castle, a great book by Dodie Smith who, oddly enough, also wrote 101 Dalmations.
The sort of odd format for this paper is due to its being the accompaniment to the real assignment which was a mobile (yes, a mobile), from which were to dangle four symbols which meant something in the book. The book is not even a book they read in class — it was part of their “sustained silent reading” assignment. Once a week they spend the whole period reading, because if they didn’t read in school, when would they read?
I can’t really even express how very lame M’s English class is. But I think it’s a pretty good paper. I even liked the mobile. But then, I am her mother.
On I Capture the Castle,
by Dodie Smith
I Capture the Castle is a modern story set in the English countryside in a small town called Godsend. It is written in the form of journal entries by Cassandra Mortmain, who is practicing her speedwriting. Cassandra lives with her father, sister, brother, step-mother, and a semi-adopted boy who is the son of their old servant. They live in the ruins of a castle built in Norman times and somehow damaged or changed by every period to pass through it. Her father is a writer who wrote one very successful book called Jacob Wrestling. However, one day, when they lived in a different house, as he was yelling at his wife and happened to be brandishing a cake knife, a neighbor called the police, and Cassandra’s father was sent to prison for a few short months. After he came out, and also after Cassandra’s mother dies, Mr. Mortmain ceased to write. Because of this, the family’s money dwindled, and by the time the book starts, the family has no money at all. I Capture the Castle follows Cassandra and her strange family as their new young landlords move into the town and take an interest in the girls, through their encounters with London life, marriage for money, and mistaken love.
The symbols I have chosen are the Belfast Tower, which is a tower off their castle, belonging to the oldest time period, the cake knife Mr. Mortmain brandished, Miss Blossom, a mannequin in Cassandra’s and her sister Rose’s room, and the kitchen gargoyle.
The Belfast tower represents a merging of old and new that this family and their strange castle-house is part of. It is a steady, unchanging piece of the past that has remained through the centuries. Throughout the book, there is a constant reference to time difference. Things that happen are related to the different centuries that pass through the castle, and even the family is a sort of combination of old manners, style and etiquette and new.
The cake knife as brandished by Mr. Mortmain and misinterpreted by the neighbor set a tone of misunderstanding and strife for the whole book, whether it is misunderstanding in eccentric behavior, affection, or interaction.
Miss Blossom is a symbol of maternal feeling and consolation which is noticeably missing from the family life. Cassandra’s stepmother, Topaz, while extremely kind and certainly considered as part of the family, does not exactly fill the mother role. Because of this, Cassandra makes up a personality and voice for the dressmaker’s dummy that both she and Rose turn to for advice. Miss Blossom offers consolation and perspective that even Cassandra, who acts as her voice, cannot always think of without going through Miss Blossom.
The last symbol is the gargoyle in the kitchen. This is a stone head that Mr. Mortmain says is actually a carved angel head in the wall above the kitchen fireplace, which used to be the wall of the castle chapel. The gargoyle represents the religious role in the book. I Capture the Castle is not really a religious, Christian-minded book. Although the characters are nominally Christian they do not go to church or read the bible. However, they do have a sort of idea of religion, mixed with paganism and superstition. As the book goes on, Cassandra considers her views on religion, and in what ways it can do good or bad for individual people.
