40 Susan, the daughter of a clergyman does not pray.
41 Jinny constantly dances and seeks attention. Susan loves no one except her father.
42 Jinny does not dream 43 Rhoda copies other to see what they do how they react to things. She says, "I have no
face." Rhoda preffers Susans character to Jinny's. "For she is resolute, and less ambitious of dstinction than Jinny."
"Jinny has her own knowledge but keeps it to herself." Rhoda is rocked and tormented by her own emotions.
44 "I often die pierced with arrows to win their tears." 45 Rhoda dreams.
48-49 Percival is atheletic, while Neville is weakly and uninterested in the competition outside of his questionable
interest in Percival. Neville says, "I shall be a clinger to the outsides of words all my life." Bernard is late to cricket,
he's often late. He is forgiven because he tells stories.
49 More bubble imagery associated with Bernard.
51 Bernard's stories amuse Neville yet, they make him feel very alone. He feels that Bernard's understanding is
"sypathetic" perhaps as opposed to empathetic. "Louis is too cold, too universal."
Neville cannot express his feelings about Percival.
54 Susan's true desire "I want to give, to be given and solitude in which to unfold my possessions."
55 Jinny says "I shall not let myself be attachted to one person only...I have not yet broken into my hoard." Rhoda has
difficulty letting her tree grow. (dreams). Her dreams offer her no comfort.
57 School is coming to an end, each reflects. Neville fears Percival will forget him.
64 reference to Jinny's hoard of life. Rhoda's identity fails her. 65 Louis will "go vaguely, to make money vaguely."
66 All boast except Neville.
67 Bernard observes louis and neville as feelin "the presence of other people as a separating wall." He does not
believe in separation.
68 Bernard makes phrases and connects people.
He is not much for reflection. He requires concrete things. He recognizes in the Louis and Neville "an exactitude that I
admire and shall never possess."
70 Neville says of Bernard "He tells our story with extraordinary understanding, except of what we most feel. Neville is
18 and filled with bitterness. 72 He does not "anticipate what is to come." |
