The Castle(Poem) - Paragraph Answer

 The Castle

One of the soldiers lodged in the castle is the narrator of the poem. The soldiers spent the summer days by laying down and taking rest. From the turret wall, they were able to watch the mowers and no enemy was found up to the distance of half a mile. The soldiers had a lot of weapons and a large quantity of food. The soldier stood on the towering battlement in order to shoot the enemy at sight. As the castle’s gate was strong and the walls were thick, no one can enter the castle. This was the firm belief of the soldiers. But the warder was disloyal, so the castle was captured and all were arrested. They could not do anything. The castle was defeated by the enemies in a crooked way. The soldiers could not accept this treacherous defeat. So they felt helpless. The citadel was captured by bribing the guard with gold. Gold is considered as a real enemy in this poem.
