Castle’ shows how much terror Kingshaw has to go through every day. Kingshaw is a weak character as we can tell through his being a willing victim‚ his timidity and his overt fear of a variety of things other than the crow. When the wings of the crow began to hit his face Kingshaw ‘gave a sudden‚ dry sob’ as he was clearly very frightened of the attack at that point. It seems metaphorically the crow is actually bigger than Kingshaw the human. This symbolizes that Kingshaw is easily victimized by anything

I would mostly blame Hooper and Mrs.Kingshaw
