Richard Castle is a rich mystery writer who works at the New York State police department’s twelfth precinct to inspire his work. Alongside the very talented detective Katherine Beckett, he helps to solve murder cases of all kinds. Unfortunately, since Castle is merely an amateur sleuth, the trouble he gets in is inevitable and ranges from getting trapped in a giant freezer to almost dying from an incurable disease. Regardless, Kate is always there to save him and Castle has returned the favor countless times. Castle and Beckett’s relationship has no doubt evolved since the first season. For example, the two have finally admitted that they have feelings for one another that go far beyond mere friendship. The two were in a relationship for quite some time but neither had dared to think about what lay ahead. One day at a time, they tested the waters of a relationship they were not sure would go anywhere. However, the two were in love and nothing, it seemed, could change that. Unfortunately, Kate being the accomplished detective that she is, gets the job offer of a lifetime when the FBI informs her of an opening and offers her the position. This seems wonderful at first but the fact that the job is in D.C. urges her not to tell Castle even though she knows this might compromise their relationship. Only when she knows for certain that she got the job does she inform Castle she is pursuing her dream and furthering her career. But Castle’s entire life is in New York and dropping everything to follow his girlfriend when he has a mother and daughter to worry about is less than ideal for him. After a short break apart, Castle and Beckett meet at a park and Castle tells her what is on his mind. The speech she thought was going to end the... ... middle of paper ... ...ct, on the same cases and often side-by-side, the relationship these protagonist’s share must be free of any poisons. In order for this to take place, the two confront each other with any conflicts they might have towards each other and always be honest with each other. This interpretation is therefore in the literal sense of the word. Finally, the series is based on the fact that justice is a dominant truth in society based on its morals. According to society’s laws, a crime must be punished. Murder is therefore a federal offense sometimes punishable by death. It is therefore crucial in a judicial system for there to be police officers and judges to enforce the law that all citizens must abide by to avoid society crumbling into anarchy. This is the basis which the Castle series is established since the plot of every episode revolves around a murder investigation.
