Quote #4
The masters! In a dispute between masters and men, she was always for the men. But when there was no question of contest, she was pining to be superior, to be one of the upper class. The upper classes fascinated her, appealing to her peculiar English passion for superiority. (7.115)
Mrs. Bolton is from the lower classes, but she's obsessed with the aristocracy. (You just know she's got William-and-Kate memorabilia stashed away in her tea cabinet.) That's why she gets such a kick out of working for Clifford; it's a little peek into the world of the upper class.
Quote #5
"Oh, I've no patience with these romances. They're the ruin of all order. It's a thousand pities they ever happened." Connie was inclined to agree. What was the good of discontented people who fitted in nowhere? (8.104-05)
Connie might not be as extreme as Clifford, but she's still kind of a snob who doesn't want people getting above their station—at least until she meets Mellors. She'll let him get wherever he wants.
Quote #6
Connie thought, how extremely like all the rest of the classes the lower classes sounded. Just the same thing over again, Tevershall or Mayfair or Kensington. There was only one class nowadays: moneyboys. The moneyboy and the moneygirl, the only difference was how much you'd got, and how much you wanted. (9.54)
You'd think money would widen class differences, but Connie thinks it actually narrows them. From Tevershall (the mines) to Kensington (a fancy district in London), everyone's obsessed with money.
