The White Mountains Post#4

The quote on page 111 relates to the theme by saying that if you have courage but gets capped, what is the meaning of courage without a free mind? The rest of the chapter also talks about freedom. When Will found out that Eloise is also capped and has no freedom, he abandons his love and escaped after Eloise left in the next chapter. The people of the red castle also thinks that capping ceremony is a way of growing up, like from a boy to a knight or a girl to a lady. Will said in the passage that all good things are wasted when they are capped. I think the reason he said that because Eloise is capped and Will loves Eloise so when he learns that she is capped, he felt that she is wasted.
