How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
Although Enid's ostensible foe was Alfred, what made her a guerrilla was the house that occupied them both. (1.9)
This metaphor clearly defines the Lamberts' power dynamic: Enid is a "guerrilla" trying to overthrow the rightful leader, Alfred. Revolution's coming, baby.
Quote #2
It occurred to her that Denise's rash act might even have been prompted, in some tiny part, by her wish to do the moral thing and please her mother. (2.964)
Enid should have been ecstatic about this, but Denise married the wrong kind of guy. As we see time and time again, she has a hard time dealing when reality doesn't measure up with her expectations.
Quote #3
Having attached so much meaning to the marriage, having struggled so hard to accept it, she felt that the least Denise could have done was stay married. (2.965)
We don't think it would be a stretch to say that Enid is trying to live through Denise here. After all, isn't she hoping that her daughter makes the same misguided choices as she has?
