The theme of the castle of Red Tower is a freedom. In the Red tower, people live with rules and they live as if they are normal even though they are still capped and are obedient to the Tripods. Even though the theme in the castle of Red tower is freedom, people are still Capped. The Comtesse doesn't put Will or his friends into the jail because they think that boys running away from their house is something to be proud of. They don't treat runaways like other towns and villages would do. This is an evidence of freedom. Also, they ask Will if he can stay in the Red tower with them forever. They offer him a place in the Red tower and also offer him a job of a knight if he stays. In the other villages and towns, they would just put them in the jail and call the Tripods to Cap them as soon as possible. This is another evidence of freedom. People in the Red Tower live as if they are uncapped and live happily with their family. This is why the theme is freedom in the castle of Red Tower.
