Freedom

Will has discovered that life in the castle with the Comte and Comtesse is quite good infact it is so good that Will is starting to think that being capped isn’t so bad. He could become a knight and be able to stay with them and live there forever and not go to the White Mountains. Although life under the tripods, and not having the freedom to think doesn’t make life worth living. ‘What value did courage have, without a free and challenging mind to direct it?’ Will couldn’t bear the thought of not having a free mind. After realizing that Eloise had no true feelings towards Will he knew that life at the castle wasn’t a possibility if he cant think freely and enjoy it what is the point of even having it.
