Chapter 24 Flashcards
Rivalry Lucy and Elinor (2 cards)
How can we see the colloquial accent of Lucy peep through her speech?
“I felt sure you was angry with me” -Lucy to Elinor
“he was never gave me one moment’s alarm on that account from the first” - about Edward’s love for Lucy
How do Elinor and Lucy have a very conflictive yet extremely polite discussion?
L: “will you not give me your advice, Miss Dashwood?”
E: “No’ answered Elinor, with a smile which concealed very agitated feelings”
L: “Indeed you wrong me… I know nobody of whose judgement I think so highly as I do yours; and I do really believe, that if you was to say to me “I advise you… to put an end to your engagement”… I should resolve upon doing it immediately”
E: “Elinor blushed at the insincerity of Edward’s future wife…‘This compliment would effectually frighten me from giving any opinion on the subject, had I formed one. it raises my influence much too high”
