As always, there is something behind this that made us (me and my friends) do all this. It really took us a long time but we don't mind right? It's still the start of torture!
The Tripods were able to control the people by capping them. BUT, there is more than just answering this question. I think that the Tripods washed away all the memories they have in childhood when they placed the "cap" on their heads as what Ozymandias told Will in the second chapter. That is a very long paragraph to tell you about what Ozymandias told Will, so I am going to skip that. Another thing is that I think that maybe the Tripods was men, (obviously) and those men wanted to rule the world, so they made the Tripods and from there, they would rule the world by giving those who are capped instructions that they have to follow. But those men are smart enough to do some device thing in the Tripods so that the Tripods don't go to the White Mountain where the men lives in. And I can link that to why there are free men on the White Mountain and why the Tripods don't go there at all to cap people.
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.
One evidence that Will is comfortable living at the castle is that he was settled there and there was Eloise to accompany him and he actually didn't want to leave her like in this quote '"They chose well. I'm glad Eloise." She said, "I wanted to say good-bye. Will." "It won't be for long. A few days. Then, when I am Capped..." She shook her head. "I shall not see you again. Did you know ?" "But I am staying here. Your father said so, this morning." "You will stay, but not I. Did no one tell you?" "Tell me what?" "When the tournament is over, the Queen goes to serve the Tripods. It is always done." I said stupidly, "Serve them where?" "In their city." "BUt for how long?" "I have told you. Forever." Her words shocked me, but the look on her face was more shocking still. It was a kind of rapt devotion, the expression of someone who hugs in secret her heart's desire. Dazed, I asked her, "Your parents know this?"' found on page 135. This quote shows that Will is frustrated that the Comte, Comtesse and Eloise are going to be Capped and serve the Tripods in their city. I think, personally, that Will likes Eloise because he was shocked by her words and along the journey to the white mountains, he thought about her and how she appears in his mind. So, Will, is actually more frustrated when Eloise is going to be Capped than the Comte, and the Comtesse.
