Abstract
We Have Always Lived in the Castle is Shirley Jackson’s last completed novel and, much like the majority of her other works, it features female characters suffering from mental disorders and the house which represents a place of both security and imprisonment. The main objective of this paper will be to analyze both of the protagonists and to explore the setting of Jackson’s novel. Constance and Mary Katherine (Merricat) Blackwood, two psychically unstable sisters, continue living isolated from the society after the murder of their other family members. Their lives are disturbed by an intruder, their Cousin Charles. At first glance, Constance and Merricat seem to be completely opposite characters, Constance being the more submissive one, and Merricat the wild one. However, this essay will argue that despite their differences, the sisters have a lot more in common. It will explore the ways they defy the society and show just how disturbed both of them really are. This paper will also take a closer look at the Blackwood house and the village as the main settings of the story and their dual role: the role of prison and sanctuary.
