| Quote #7 I looked into her eyes, and I knew I was going to kiss her, and I knew there was nothing to worry about, as long as we stayed together. And I believed, for that one second, we always would. (10.09[2].140) |
Ah, the anticipation of a first kiss. Do you think he captures that memorable first kiss feeling, or are first kisses really not all they're cracked up to be?
| Quote #8 "We're not [supposed to be together]. You're a Mortal. You can't understand. I don't want to see you get hurt, and that's what will happen if you get too close to me." (10.09[2].157) |
Here we have the age-old star-crossed lovers theme surfacing. Because of powers beyond their control (although they're probably Powers with a capital P here), Lena and Ethan are just not meant to be.
| Quote #9 [Lena] scanned the letter. "'A Species Apart' he calls them. Her family is trying to keep them apart..." (10.13.134) |
Lena isn't talking about herself and Ethan here, but she might as well be. Genevieve and Ethan Carter's relationship has some uncanny similarities to Lena and Ethan's.
