We Have Always Lived In The Castle is a novel written by Shirley Jackson, a popular and influential American writer of the 20th century. The narrative revolves around two sisters, Mary Katherine and Constance, who live together with their amnesic and out-of-touch Uncle Julian in their opulent, ancestral home. The sisters’ parents and brother, as well as Uncle Julian’s wife are dead, all killed by arsenic put into the sugar bowl one night at dinner. Constance, who cooked the meal, was acquitted for the crime but was still held suspect by the village while strangely enough, Mary Katherine had been sent to her room without dinner that night as a punishment and therefore was never questioned. Despite this tragedy, they seem to live happy, stagnant lives until their distant cousin Charles shows up desiring the family’s wealth and bringing radical change. The novel is played out through the consciousness of the younger sister Mary Katherine or “Merricat,” who has wild fantasies and modes of processing the world around her, inserting the reader into her demented imagination. Shirley Jackson employs fairytale and witchcraft into the story through imagery and symbolism presented by Merricat in order to convey the psychoanalytic effects of ignorance and isolation.

William Faulkner’s A Rose for Emily also displays the same fold-in-on-itself mystery that We Have Always Lived in the Castle calls forth. In both stories, past time is brought to the reader’s attention, both through flashbacks, as found in We Have Always Lived in the Castle and through a narrative present reporter that gives information on a past story-arc, where he or she is well aware of the ending, i.e. the present. The two stories also both hold an element of mystery for crimes that are only implied, but never actually expressly stated by the person committing them.
