Another time, when the trip was just beginning and Charlotte didn't see the captain for who he was, Charlotte told the captain about the crews plan of a mutiny and their round robin. The captain had told her that if she saw a round robin, or anything else that hinted of a rebellion, she was to report it to him right away.

She kept telling Jaggery that her father would approve of her. When Charlotte finally reaches Rhode Island, she realizes that her father is not like what she thought. He reacted to her ways the exact way Captain Jaggery did. For example, “Somehow you teachers there filled your mind with the unfortunate capacity to invent the most outlandish, not to say unnatural tales.” This proves that Mr. Doyle doesn’t approve of Charlotte’s behavior.
“Escape” is another great book that was hard to put down. This is a first- person account of life inside the world of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), the radical offshoot of the Mormon Church that had settled in small communities along the Arizona-Utah border. This book gives a thrilling account of one woman’s courageous flight to freedom with her eight children. Carolyn Jessop tells the story of her life growing up in the FLDS, with a family that had been deeply and faithfully involved in the community for many generations. She defines polygamy and describes the pain her mother endured as one of multiple wives as well as the torture she and her sisters endured as a result.

At the beginning of the book Charlotte likes the captain because they are of the same social class but as the novel progresses, Captain Jaggery's true colors start to show. Charlotte soon comes to discover her true self from many different events she experiences with the crew and the captain. When the cook, Zachariah, approaches Charlotte to tell her that Captain Jaggery is actually a very cruel person and is responsible for the amputation of Cranick’s arm, Charlotte is in complete dis belief but still feels inside that Zachariah isn't lying.

“Exactly. Who from the start kept me well informed about the crew; how they threatened passengers so they would not sail. He informed me about Cranick. About Zachariah…”( page 197) Charlotte is betrayed by Keetch because he has been playing along with the rebellion and he was really just telling the Captain all that has been going on while on the
On page 92, Charlotte heard someone say, “There’s seven that’s put down their mark. But there’s others inclined.” This relates to the theme because at one point on page 92 again she hears someone say, “And I don’t like that girl spying.” Charlotte is terrified because she thinks the men are talking about a round robin, which can be held against Captain Jaggery. She then becomes brave and goes to Captain Jaggery and tells him all of what she heard.
The way in which this is stated shows how clearly set in his beliefs Mr. Doyle is. He without a doubt believes that Charlotte lied about everything that took place on the ship.

The narrator seems to be sane at the beginning of the story, but her husband’s attempts to cure her actually made the condition far worse. He confined her to a room and took away the one thing she loved to do; using her imagination as a writer. He stated that she should not be socially active, as it will worsen her condition, but being in isolation actually made things worse. She disagreed with his actions, but was unwilling to go against him. One example is when Charlotte said, “I sometimes fancy that in my condition if I had less opposition and more society and stimulus -- but John says the very worst thing that I can do is think about my condition
A deceiving student, Macca, dominates both Ruth and fellow victim, Philip. No one attempts to control this, not even Mrs Canmore who only warns the bullies.

Throughout the story, the narrator continues to mention this image of him standing “[with] open arms” on a “cobbled street” in “a smoldering city” where he sees himself saving “a bundle of precious things [thrown] from a third-floor European window” that is Charlotte (189). The image of the “smoldering city” suggests an unfolding of some sort of disaster on a grand scale, perhaps a volcanic eruption or a war. The emphasis on the medieval aspects of the city, the “European window” and “cobbled streets” adds a fantastical sense to this image, suggesting that narrator is both exaggerating and romanticizing this relationship. Describing Charlotte as “a bundle of precious things” he happens to save, the narrator implies that he sees Charlotte as something special that only he can save because he is the person in the right place and time with “arms open” – accepting and willing to tolerate her faults. In introspection, the narrator claims that this vision is perhaps the result of having “watched too many films” (189), and suggests that he may have imagined himself of a hero of sorts who can save Charlotte from her eccentricities and anti-social behaviors.
All in all, if Charlotte had known who to trust she would have known that Zachariah could be trusted and that it was Captain Jaggery who was untrustworthy. A few chapters later the author once
