We Have Been Living in the Castle
Literature我们一直住在城堡里
(us) Shirley Jackson
Once upon a time, this luxurious house had a majestic father, a beautiful mother, a lovely younger brother, and a family of uncles and aunts. It was very lively... However, after a dinner, there were only three people left in the family... Who is the murderer? And the murderer's motive for killing is even more shocking... The sister Constance, who suffers from phobia of strange places, out of nostalgia for her lost family, cooks and cleans with the implication of unchanging religious rituals; and the sister Mary Kate is also surrounded by adventures when she goes to the village center for shopping, where she has to struggle to deal with the lame teasing of the village children, full of hostility and hatred in her heart. Uncle Julian, dependent on Constance's care, is immersed in his little world, playing with his manuscripts chronicling the family's history. How do these three people face their uninvited cousin Charles? People outside the castle went from snooping, sarcasm, and satire at the beginning. They made the tragedy of the family poisoning into a school song and spread it widely, to the terrible rumors about the castle, and finally people showed kindness to the sisters after the fire. What made people change their attitudes?
