Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Set in the 1930s in England, I Capture the Castle (1948) is Dodie Smith’s best-loved (though little-known) book, with the power to leave its readers with a mild case of the warm fuzzies.I Capture the Castle is the journal of Cassandra Mortmain, a 17-year-old girl who lives in a rented castle in the depths of Suffolk with her impoverished and decidedly unconventional family: her reclusive father, who was once a very famous and ground-breaking author until he was sent to prison for three months for threatening his wife with a cake knife; her eccentric and glamorous stepmother, Topaz, who was once a nude model and still believes in "communing with nature"; her flawed but beautiful elder sister, Rose, who is desperately sick of being poor; her younger brother, Thomas, who is smart and doesn’t appear much in the book until the second half, and the hired hand, Stephen Colly, who is extremely handsome and desperately in love with Cassandra.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The plot begins when the young American heirs to the castle and its property, Simon and Neil Cotton, plus various sophisticated relations, come to England to look it over. In doing so, they run smack-bang into Cassandra having a bath. After the initial awkwardness is over, they get along swimmingly. Before long, Simon and Rose become engaged. Then Cassandra falls in love with Simon, which messes things up for her a bit. But even though she’s lovesick, she still manages to hatch a plot with her brother to get their father writing again.Even when she’s in the midst of lovesickness, family rows and a couple of embarrassing mishaps, Cassandra still manages to be level-headed and adventurous. She is sometimes naïve and sometimes astonishingly wise, but always intelligent, funny, optimistic and unexpectedly honest.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Made into a movie by The BBC in 2003 starring Romola Garai as Cassandra, Rose Byrne as Rose, Marc Blucas as Neil, Henry Thomas as Simon, and Henry Cavill as Stephen. | |

Hidden Depths: At first Thomas is just a cheerful young boy, but then he shows that he is fairly well-versed in psychology and understands modern literature much better than Cassandra. He's the one who first catches on that Rose doesn't really love Neil when he points out that most engaged women can't shut up about their fiancees or their wedding plans, while Rose almost never mentions hers. | |

Aluminum Christmas Trees: Modern readers might be confused when Cassandra mentions "mannequins" walking around, but at the time, many high-class shops employed live models to stroll silently about while wearing the latest fashions.note Ordinary, static mannequins did exist; the living ones were only to class the place up. | |

Foreshadowing: Mortmain talking to Cassandra about Rose and Simon in chapter 13, specifically when he asks if she's really in love with Simon. Thomas has already guessed that she isn't, and when Cassandra goes to London to find out, Rose confirms it. Simon's comment about Rose being bored by a concert he took her to in London. Cassandra is surprised since Rose loves music and sings very well. It's an early hint of Rose's real feelings for Simon. | |

First Kiss | |
| I Capture the Castle / int_a00f2ac9 | comment |
First Kiss: Played as a plot twist, when Rose points out that "a kiss can do a lot of things." Cassandra believes she's referring to her first kiss with Simon (which Cassandra witnessed) as confirming that she really loves him and isn't just stringing him along to get him to marry her. She's really referring to her first first kiss with Neil, which sealed her attraction to him. Cassandra can't see romance being worth all the trouble until she gets her first kiss. Then it's all she can think about. | |

Empathic Environment | |
| I Capture the Castle / int_e3cee2e7 | comment |
Empathic Environment: The Midsummer's Eve when Simon kisses Cassandra and the day after are beautiful and sunny days, followed by weeks of cold, wet weather during Cassandra's misery after she realises her feelings for him. Her birthday, when she receives a present from Simon, is the only nice day. The novel itself begins in March, at the beginning of spring, continues through into the summer, and finishes mid-October. | |

Giftedly Bad: Topaz loves art and the world of artists, but has no talent of her own (her painting of the Tower apparently looks like an upturned pudding basin and a rolling pin) and has resigned herself to inspiring others, rather than attempting any of her own. While quite a good writer of prose, Cassandra's attempts at poetry are so terrible that she decides she mustn't write any more of it. | |
