love Flashcards
“it might be falling in love. but why with miss Killman”
- double standards perhaps hates miss killman because elizebeth is experiencing the same things she did with sally when she was younger
“elizebeth her own daughter went to communion”
“the religious ecstascy made people callous”
Similarly jane doesn’t understand her Helen and her devotion and love for god
“what is god? where is god?” “god is my friend; i believe he loves me”
lucrezia - “to love makes one solitary” - lost hope in love
jane without love feels alone - “almost a bride - was a cold solitary girl again”
clarissa has the chance to love many people - peter ,richard and sally
“the effect was extrodinary”
‘if i had married him this gaiety would be mine”
“he was in love! not with her . with some younger woman of course “
jane has not had much experience in love (similar to ms killman “never meeting the opposite sex”
- “i had hardly ever seen a handsome youth; never in my life spoken to one”
conflict rather than power struggle in love - “he had his knife out. thats so like him” - shows their incompatibility she ‘opened her scissors” and needle
rochester however have a role reversal and power struggle from the beginning - she hoped for a ‘heroic looking gentelman” - “help me a little yourself” “he mastered it directly and sprang to the saddle” - once he got to his horse his power is back no longer damsel in distress
jane runs away despite loving him - “not one glance was to be cast back”
peter does the same - “without looking at her , leaving the room quickly and running downstairs”
lack of parental love
- clarissa’s dad calls sally “untidy’
- peter thinkis elizebeth ‘probably doesn’t get along with clarissa’
rochester says ‘ my father was an avaricious, grasping man” and blames him for horrible marriage with ‘lunatic’
richard cant say i love you “he could not bring himself to say he loved her” “he had not said i love you but he held her hand”
rochester is very expressive - “i have for the first time found what i can truly love - i have found you”
rochester is harsh “ you know that i had but a hideous demon” and calls her ‘my good angel’
mrs dalloway is not as cruel and does not degrade her husband over sally although she says the experience was exquisite she does love her husband for giving her independence
