Chapter 29 Flashcards
Willoughby and Marianne exchange notes (6 cards)
How do Elinor and Marianne show how their relationship goes beyond words?
“Elinor drew near, but without saying a word; and seating herself on the bed, took her hand, kissed her affectionately several times, and then have way to a burst of tears, which at first was scarcely less violent than Marianne’s”
What does Willoughby say in his note to Marianne?
“I am much concerned to find there was anything in my behaviour last night that did not meet you approbation…I entreat your forgiveness… if I have been so unfortunate as to give rise to belief of more than I felt or meant to repress, I shall reproach myself…. when you understand that my affections have been long engaged elsewhere”
How can we see Elinor’s reaction to the letter?
“every perusal only served to increase her abhorrence of the man”
What does Marianne say about what she thought of Willoughby’s affections towards her?
“It was every day implied, but never professedly declared. Sometimes I thought it had been - but it never was.”
How does Marianne assert her dominance in her replying note to Willoughby?
“What am I to imagine, Willoughby, by your behaviour last night?… I was repulsed indeed!… I am perfectly ready to hear purposely deceived”
What does Marianne think about what people may think of her impropriety?
“But her condemnation of him did not blind her to the impropriety of their having been written at all…“I care not who knows I am wretched’”
