Unknown

Wenceslaus takes joy in insulting people. In Season 3 Episode 3, he argues with Amir and says he looks like the back end of a garbage troll. In Season 2 Episode 3 when he first meets Rupert, he says that Rupert looks 100.

Wenceslaus's small zoo used to have a real unicorn, the worlds largest group of dragons and a few rare winged loins. When the Forbidden Forest grew, it cut the Hinterlands off from the rest of the kingdom. The adults couldn't hunt or farm and they started to run out of food. The took the animals from Wenceslaus and ate them. " They say it tasted like chicken" Wenceslaus said when Rupert asked if they had really eaten the last unicorn. To try to make himself feel better, Wenceslaus got a goat and some lizards to pretend that the animals were still there. He tied a carrot to the top of the goat's head to mimic a horn and named the goat Spike. He still pretends that the goat is a unicorn. When he was trying to convince Rupert and Amir that the Despair was real he claimed " It's real, just like my unicorn!".

Also, he's super cute

## Trivia

* Wenceslaus is about 6 years old. This is stated when Prince Rupert says to Prince Amir "It sounds like you're about to loose it on a six year old," but we don't know his birthday.
* Wenceslaus hates baths
* It's 2 gold pieces to get a tour of his zoo
* We don't know what happened to Wenceslaus's birth parents
* Wenceslaus is very connected to Spike, since it seems he doesn't like making friends, Spike may have been one of his only friends
* It must of taken over ten years for the Hinterlands to run out of food if Wenceslaus was there to try to stop them from eating the animals, since the forest lasted 18 years.

Additionally, it is noted by Barabbus that they had dated long ago in Ronny's particularly distressing bad boy phase and that Barabbus even almost married him.

Season 1

When Prince Rupert sets out to break the mysterious curse that's destroying his kingdom, he's ready to face whatever dastardly villain or vile monster stands in his way. What he isn't prepared for is the bewildering new emotions he feels when he meets the handsome Amir, a rival prince on a quest to save his own realm. Forced to team up, the two princes soon discover that the only thing more difficult than saving their kingdoms is following their hearts.
Lady Cecily

## Her Story

In the first season, Cecily is described as having a crush on Rupert. She is one of the girls that he meets to be his potential bride in the first episode, where Rupert's mother, the queen, plans a wedding where he will both fall in love with and marry that night. Then, in the second season, she has a crush on Joan, where the character was then re-introduced as bisexual or pansexual (it is not directly mentioned) . She proceeds to give hints and pretends to get kidnapped three times in a month while Joan starts acting like she doesn't even want to be friends. In the third season, it is hinted that she and Joan dated, but have broken up afterwards. This was also the time when she and Percy Jr. start dating, but in the end they break up because Percy thinks they should start seeing other people, and realized that "there are so many things I've never done, like learning to swim, and kissing a boy . . ." Cecily and Joan get back together. She said that she doesn’t want a pity date from Joan but she will accept a pity diamond. Then Joan says the famous line, “Shut up and kiss me” to which Cecily replies, “I thought you would never ask.” and the two share a kiss. They likely never get married, as Joan said she never intended to.

Joan

**Joan** is a stable girl who believed that women could be knights too. She lives in the West with her father who doesn't think that women can hold a sword. Her mother died. She taught herself how to fight with a sword.

In episode 5, That Sinking Feeling, Joan steps up to serve the two Queens, Queen Lavinia, and Queen Atossa when Sir Percy and his knights don't want to risk their lives going into the forest. Joan hides her face until she shows her worth. She asks any knights around if they are brave enough to fight. Sir Percy accepts and tells her that no man had bested him yet.

> "Well, Captain, I'll try not to hurt your pride too much,"  Joan says, and they battle. Sir Percy yields and Joan then shows her face. She is recruited by Queen Lavinia and Queen Atossa. She gets her own army: The Army of Princesses, where she takes all the girls that want to marry Prince Rupert.

When her Army of Princesses didn't believe her that they were going to have to fight a dragon, Joan told them this.

> "Now listen up, 'cause we don't have much time, I know you're scared, and I know you weren't trained for battle. I wasn't trained either. I taught myself because my father didn't think a girl could handle a sword. But I can. And so can you. All your lives, you've been told to smile, and look cute, and flirt, because you only had one job: to land a husband. Well, today you have a new job, a better job. Today, your job is to defend your Queen. Today your job is to rescue the Prince. Today your job is to save our kingdom. And you can do it if we work together. Because together, we are stronger than anything this forest can throw at us. Yesterday, the most any of you could have been a princess. But today, today you all are warriors! Now say it back to me,

O thou, whose stern command

"**O thou, whose stern command**" is an sonnet published in 1789 by William Lisle Bowles as the third poem in his "Fourteen Sonnets" cycle.

## Original text

SONNET III.

O thou, whose stern command and precepts pure

(Tho' agony in every vein should start,

And slowly drain the blood-drops from the heart)

Have bade the patient spirit still endure;

Thou, who to sorrow hast a beauty lent,

On the dark brow, with resolution clad,

Illumining the dreary traces sad,

Like the cold taper on a monument;

O firm Philosophy! display the tide

Of human misery, and oft relate

How silent sinking in the storms of fate,

The brave and good have bow'd their head and died.

So taught by Thee, some solace I may find,

Remembering the sorrows of mankind.
Harvest

*"Harvest"'* is the fifth episode of Castle Rock season one.

The Kid is released from Shawshank and meets Jackie. Alan is honored at a ceremony and Ruth jumps off a bridge. The Kid offers to help her.

## Notes

* Warden Theresa Porter's superior threatens her that "there's always room under the bus for one more rogue employee." Though in this context he refers to her being fired or losing support from the board, it foreshadows her death from being struck by a bus.
* The story Alan tells Henry, about when he got a call about gunfire at Ruth's place, then coming there and she begged him not to leave, is seen in a flashback at the end of "The Queen."
The Electric Universe

"**The Electric Universe**" is a "refrained sonnet" written by Lawrence Eberhart in October of 2017.

## Original text

If it is true from naught that something came

that opens up a metaphysics view,

but leaves us still without a single clue

from whence that something started just the same.

If it is true there once was a big pop,

that in a picosecond somehow grew

the stuff for zinc, and shale, and caribou

then must one wonder what might make it stop.

If it is true a steady state exists,

(and I’m inclined to think that that is true),

and gravity is not the only glue

that drives the order, which so far, persists

electric forces must receive their due;

and we’ve no way to guess when they’ll be through.
The Amulet of Wolfsbane

The Amulet of Wolfsbane contains, you got it, Wolfsbane. A northern European aconite. Aconite is a poisonous plant of the buttercup family, which bears hooded pink or purple flowers.

Kills anything

Aconitum, also known as aconite, monkshood, wolfsbane, leopardsbane, mousebane, womensbane, devil's helmet, queen of poisons, or blue rocket, is a genus of over 250 species of flowering plants belonging to the family Ranunculaceae. These herbaceous perennial plants are chiefly native to the mountainous parts of the Northern Hemisphere, growing in the moisture-retentive but well-draining soils of mountain meadows.

Now old desire

"**Now old desire**" is a "hidden" sonnet written by William Shakespeare that constitutes the prologue to Act Two of his 1590s tragedy *Romeo and Juliet*.

## Modern English

Now old desire doth in his death-bed lie,

And young affection gapes to be his heir;

That fair for which love groan'd for and would die,

With tender Juliet match'd, is now not fair.

Now Romeo is beloved and loves again,

Alike betwitched by the charm of looks,

But to his foe supposed he must complain,

And she steal love's sweet bait from fearful hooks:

Being held a foe, he may not have access

To breathe such vows as lovers use to swear;

And she as much in love, her means much less

To meet her new-beloved any where:

But passion lends them power, time means, to meet

Tempering extremities with extreme sweet.
The Curse

The Curse was created 18 years before the story takes place. The Curse started when the King of the West and the King of the East went to war, the earth cried out and cursed the kings, turning them into trees. Then the forest rise to punish the kingdoms for the crimes of the kings ( said by Arachne in Season 1, episode 6).
Henry Deaver (episode)

* Amity appears to young Henry Deaver and the Kid in the schisma. On Matthew Deaver's tape, he mentioned her as the girl from the french settlers who ate her dead family members, two hundred years ago. She plays a larger role in season two, but an alternate back story is presented: she was a part of the french settlers four hundred years ago, and she became a satanistic-like prophet and crusader after meeting the Kid. She and her followers committed collective suicide, but are reborn in Castle Rock in 2019.
Silver Lining

"**Silver Lining**" is a Bref double written by Raivenne on 2 April 2016.

## Original text

I look upon this cloudy scene

The miles of dark unbroken gray

Stretched to the limits of my sight

As sky turns to sinister mood

What would have been, for sure will not

The lightning strike is close and loud

To emphasize its full intent

Like it or not, it’s understood

That any plans are now for moot

I lay the blame on the storming shroud

Their malice to ruin the day

As if the blame would do much good

I sneak a smile at the dark clouds

Didn’t want to go out anyway

In spite of time

"**In Spite of Time**" is a rondel prime written by Ryter Roethicle in 2007.

## Original text

In spite of time, caused by fate

In love with you is all I want to be,

In spite of distance, you are my mate

Spending forever together for eternity.

Meeting when our lives make it not too late

I dream of a future when we could be.

In spite of distance, you are my mate

Spending forever together for eternity.

Loving, sleeping sharing life's rich plate

You and I are together as we should be.

Dream time together our senses sate

In the halls of waiting you and me

In spite of distance, you are my mate

Spending forever together for eternity.
Narcissist in Charge Reprise

"**Narcissist in Charge Reprise**" is the eighth and final poem in the *Narcissist in Charge* tiara of sonnets published by Lawrence Eberhart on 4 October 2017.

## Original text

Reprise:

When arguments are simply otiose

because his mind's his mind, mind you, not yours.

when strategists can simply not come close

it's up to us to put in place the cures.

When prejudice and ownership hold sway

division's easily sparked by self-served men.

Supremacy is hard to take away

when it's been taught since God himself knows when.

While ample strength abides in good men's hearts

to overpower fulminating hate

It comes from human consciousness, in part,

but conscious will's required to give it weight.

So laugh at "tweets", then spread around compassion.

Diminish him until he's out of fashion.

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,

Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

From forth the fatal loins of these two foes

A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;

Whose misadventured piteous overthrows

Do with their death bury their parents' strife.

The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,

And the continuance of their parents' rage,

Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,

Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;

The which if you with patient ears attend,

What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

Scorn Not the Sonnet

"**Scorn Not the Sonnet**" is a poem written by William Wordsworth in 1827.

## Original text

Scorn not the Sonnet; Critic, you have frowned,

Mindless of its just honours; with this key

Shakespeare unlocked his heart; the melody

Of this small lute gave ease to Petrarch's wound;

A thousand times this pip did Tasso sound;

With it Camões soothed an exile's grief;

The Sonnet glittered a gay myrtle leaf

Amid the cypress with which Dante crowned

His visionary brow: a glow-worm lamp,

It cheered mild Edmund Spenser, called from Faeryland

To struggle through dark ways; and, when a damp

Fell round the path of Milton, in his hand

The Thing became a trumpet; whence he blew

Soul-animating strains, alas, too few!
Jaroslav Seifert

**Jaroslav Seifert** (*b. 23 Sept 1901; d. 10 Jan 1986*) was a Nobel Prize–winning Czechoslovak writer, poet and journalist, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1984 "for his poetry which endowed with freshness, sensuality and rich inventiveness provides a liberating image of the indomitable spirit and versatility of man."
Praha ! To chutná jak hlt vína

"**Praha ! To chutná jak hlt vína**" is the first sonnet in the *Praha a Věnec sonetů* cycle published by Jaroslav Seifert in 1956]].

## Original text

Praha ! To chutná jak hlt vína,

Opakuji si stokráte

to jméno dechem naváté

a sladší dechu milenčina.

Ať sirény však nad domy,

dají si radši přilbu s čela,

beztak nám ještě nedozněla

siréna našich svědomí.

Kdybych ji viděl jako vázu,

z níž zůstaly jen střep a prach,

kdybych měl přežít jeji zkázu,

prach její sládl by v mé slině.

Je jako pečeťna listině,

i kdyby byla v sutinách.

## English translation

Prague, that's a sip of wine with flavour,

a hundred times I say her name,

light as a breath and bright as flame,

and sweeter than a lover's favour.

Yet, may the alarm sirens, please,

take off their helmets, silent, muted.

They haven't stopped yet, they have hooted,

the sirens of our consciences.

And if I saw her, broken vessel,

glass splinters scattered far around,

and with her doom I had to wrestle,

her dust inside my mouth would sweeten,

she's like a seal on what's been written,

and were she levelled to the ground...
The Secret Agent

"**The Secret Agent**" is an unrhymed sonnet written by W. H. Auden and published in 1928.

## Original text

Control of the passes was, he saw, the key

To this new district, but who would get it?

He, the trained spy, had walked into the trap

For a bogus guide, seduced by the old tricks.

At Greenhearth was a fine site for a dam

And easy power, had they pushed the rail

Some stations nearer. They ignored his wires:

The bridges were unbuilt and trouble coming.

The street music seemed gracious now to one

For weeks up in the desert. Woken by water

Running away in the dark, he often had

Reproached the night for a companion

Dreamed of already. They would shoot, of course,

Parting easily two that were never joined.
Refugees

"**Refugees**" is a "mirrored seven sonnet" written by Lawrence Eberhart on 10 January 2016.

## Original text

Required aid’s withheld from some

because of religions’ weight.

Don’t let those extremists come

for that’s just importing hate.

When driven by men of greed

who’ll fly a flag that’s false

intending to demonize

so people will realize

the violence is not our fault,

those greedy men will succeed.

Refuse them, reject the bait

Deny them their beating drum,

Man’s morality can’t wait

We win if we don’t succumb.

A Sonnet upon Sonnets

"**A Sonnet upon Sonnets**" is a sonnet written by Robert Burns.

## Original text

Fourteen, a sonneteer thy praises sings;

What magic myst’ries in that number lie!

Your hen hath fourteen eggs beneath her wings

That fourteen chickens to the roost may fly.

Fourteen full pounds the jockey’s stone must be;

His age fourteen – a horse’s prime is past.

Fourteen long hours too oft the Bard must fast;

Fourteen bright bumpers – bliss he ne’er must see!

Before fourteen, a dozen yields the strife;

Before fourteen – e’en thirteen’s strength is vain.

Fourteen good years – a woman gives us life;

Fourteen good men – we lose that life again.

What lucubrations can be more upon it?

Fourteen good measur’d verses make a sonnet.
Narcissist in Charge II

"**Narcissist in Charge II**" is the second poem in the *Narcissist in Charge* tiara of sonnets published by Lawrence Eberhart on 4 October 2017.

## Original text

II

When strategists can simply not come close

to structuring a social plan he'll own

because that's not his nature, I suppose,

to countenance a theme not his alone.

it's up to us to put in place the cures.

to emphasize the common traits we share

to act in ways that lifts and reassures,

and in so doing, demonstrate we care.

For when embracing one who's not like us

we elevate each other in one act

and make one wonder, "Why's there such a fuss"

because some folks are white and others black?"

Humanity can't push the dark away

When prejudice and ownership hold sway
Thou art not lovelier than lilacs

"**Thou art not lovelier than lilacs**" is a sonnet written by Edna St. Vincent Millay

## Original text

Thou art not lovelier than lilacs, --- no

Nor honeysuckle; thou art not more fair

Than small white single poppies, --- I can bear

Thy beauty; though I bend before thee, though

From left to right, not knowing where to go,

I turn my troubled eyes, nor here nor there

Find any refuge from thee, yet I swear

So has it been with mist, --- with moonlight so.

Like him who day by day unto his draught

Of delicate poison adds him one drop more

Till he may drink unharmed the death of ten,

Even so, inured to beauty, who have quaffed

Each hour more deeply than the hour before,

I drink --- and live --- what has destroyed some men.
Maximal sonnet

A **maximal sonnet** is an analytical description of a sonnet consisting entirely of monosyllabic words.

A sonnet written in iambic pentameter with ten syllables per line, for instance, would consist of 140 syllables. A maximal sonnet in that form, then, would include 140 words, with an SPW of 1.000, a WPL of 10.000, and a density of 00.00%.
Local Color

**"Local Color"** is the third episode in the first season of *Castle Rock*.

Molly's childhood is catching up with her and she makes big revelation in a television interview. Henry is called to Shawshank and speaks with The Kid.

## Notes

* Warden Porter places the full responsibility for the Kid's imprisonment onto Lacy, and Henry remarks that she's "throwing the old warden under the bus." Warden Porter is struck and killed by a bus in a later episode.
* The Kid asks Henry, "Do you hear it now?" Just like Henry's father Matthew asked Henry in the forest on the night they disappeared. This is later revealed to refer to the schisma, or "voice of God" as Matthew called it. The Kid later claims to be Henry Deaver from an alternate timeline, which would explain why he knows the phrase as they shared similar experiences in their childhood, and The Kid was brought to this timeline by a young Henry.

142. Love is my sin, and thy dear virtue hate

143. Lo, as a careful housewife runs to catch

144. Two loves I have of comfort and despair

145. Those lips that Love's own hand did make

146. Poor soul, the centre of my sinful earth

147. My love is as a fever longing still

148. O me! what eyes hath Love put in my head

149. Canst thou, O cruel! say I love thee not

150. O! from what power hast thou this powerful might

151. Love is too young to know what conscience is

152. In loving thee thou know'st I am forsworn

Fairies In My Garden

"**Fairies In My Garden**" is a rondel prime written by Lorainne Dafney in 2007.

## Original text

In my garden with thoughts alone

drifting between perfumed flowers

a sense of security, home

no clocks chime the passing hour

My thoughts are free like winds that roam

in valleys and mountains towers

in my garden with thoughts alone

drifting between perfumed flowers

Where seeds are planted and then grown

sprouting quickly from spring showers

their dainty petals seem to clone

from garden fairies sweet powers

in my garden with thoughts alone

drifting between perfumed flowers

## Original text

I know that I have met my love

Somewhere in the mists of time

And that ever in the stars above

We meet and share and you are mine

We have a life others dream of

When fates decree to be sublime

I know that I have met my love

Somewhere in the mists of time

United only by mans stars above

Separated by a different clime

A union that will be so fine

And secure in the knowledge of

I know that I have met my love

Somewhere in the mists of time
True Self

"**True Self**" is an sonnet written on 19 August 2009 by Anthony J Fuchs.

Containing 140 one-syllable words, it is an example of a maximal sonnet.

## Original text

Each time I look at her, I am in awe

That she would choose to spend her life with me

When she knows all my faults, and each foul flaw;

She sees some side of me that I don't see.

I could not guess at what she thought she found

That first time that she laid her eyes on mine

It might have been a sense that we were bound,

Or matched by Fate; she might have seen some sign.

Each time she looks on me with eyes so blue

I catch a glimpse of how I look to her;

As half of her true self that makes us two

A pair that's more than she or I once were.

And so she helps me be the man she knows

Is my true self that, when I'm with her, shows.
Narcissist in Charge IV

"**Narcissist in Charge IV**" is the fourth poem in the *Narcissist in Charge* tiara of sonnets published by Lawrence Eberhart on 4 October 2017.

## Original text

IV

Supremacy is hard to take away

when it's a myth embedded in one's thought.

My hubris is my due, and it's okay.

I can't reject the mantra I've been taught

when it's been taught since God himself knows when.

Intra species violence seems nature's rule

but man's cerebra's special to our ken;

that ought to elevate mankind from drool.

I think, therefore I am; and I can hate,

and love, and hoard, and share, and laugh, and cry

and better that I learn before too late

my legacy will be here when I die.

Let's shut down hate before a darkness starts

While ample strength abides in good men's hearts
Narcissist in Charge V

"**Narcissist in Charge V**" is the fifth poem in the *Narcissist in Charge* tiara of sonnets published by Lawrence Eberhart on 4 October 2017.

## Original text

V

While ample strength abides in good men's hearts

an egotist in power can raise hell.

Our being, (set forth by Rene' Descartes)

is not enough, unless that self does well

to overpower fulminating hate.

So join me, partner, let us all arise,

and show by actions, we'll not take the bait

to shed the human love that he'd abscise.

Ask one whose dress, or style, or even race

sets him apart from what defines your norm,

to join you, (when in a convenient place)

then feel your prejudice and fears deform.

A compliment, or kindness, is the start;

It comes from human consciousness, in part.
October

"**October**" is a Bref double written by Kate Coombs on 29 September 2015.

## Original text

Days shine like August, blue and gold.

Nothing says October. Why

are the leaves beginning to turn?

What do the geese know, and the trees?

Beach weather, miles away from cold.

A dog is lolling on the grass.

A boy in shorts runs past and roses

toss their heads in a chance-met breeze.

But—like kindergartners new at school

the trees are counting daylight now.

Light by dark by light they learn,

then whisper secrets to the bees.

And so the leaves, not sky, will burn.

It isn’t summer. Someone told.
