Quote #10
New Doctors emerged, their red and black gowned forms passing across Jude's vision like inaccessible planets across an object glass. (6.1.45)
We know how committed to learning Jude has been throughout the novel. He has taught himself more than most people learn in the structured environment of school. However, it's not simply knowledge or education he desires. He knows he is as smart as some of the new doctors, but they have the public recognition for it, and that is something he can never attain. Education isn't out of his reach, but the social respect he would get from having a formal education is, and for totally unfair reasons.
