2. Find evidence (quotations from the novel) to show that even though Will is comfortable living at the castle, he is frustrated that the Comte, Comtesse, and Eloise have been capped.
3. Find evidence (quotes) to show how Will feels about being capped.
Before the book even started, there was gargantuan cities that held thousands and thousands of people, these cities and the people in them were going through what you might call the black age. In this black age, there was famine, murdering, sickness and many other despicable things going around. Because of the food shortage everyone was fighting and scrambling over food, by this the tripods were able to take advantage of these people and take over. When the tripods passed through these massive cities, they trampled on many people shortening the population by many, and fixing the food and other problems. Even though there are thought to be saviors for saving people, but really they weren't. I think this because while they fixed a lot of problems, they killed thousands of people while they were at it. After they took over they were able to keep rule by capping people, so they were able to control people's minds. There is still one place they haven't taken over, THE WHITE MOUNTAINS.
As the question says, Will is comfortable at the castle, but is annoyed and frustrated about the royal family being capped at the same time. When Will found out that Eloise was capped he said, 'My feelings about Eloise herself were also jumbled and uncertain.' Will is confused, mad small of and overwhelmed at the same time, it was new to him that Eloise was capped, he was confused because he had said 'Being stature, I had the habit of assuming that anyone older than myself must be taller, and she was an inch or two shorter than I.' He was confused because he had assumed that 'anyone older that myself must be taller'
