How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
"He loves her," I said. "It's a wonderful love story. Her married to his brother and his brother dying like that, so young, and then her not knowing what she should do or where she could go, and then him taking her and making her his wife and his queen. It's a wonderful story and he loves her still." (2.55)
Mary is telling Henry and Katherine's story, but her own story will eerily mimic this one. Her husband will die, she will feel lost, and another man will make her his wife and treat her like a queen.
Quote #2
"I promise you, it's no game to me, Your Majesty." (2.386)
Henry wants Mary's love to be real, not because he loves her, but because of he has a fragile ego.
Quote #3
"But I am a girl of fourteen in love for the first time!" I exclaimed.
"Exactly," he said unforgivingly. "That's why we listen to Anne." (2.79-2.80)
Mary's feelings are constantly dismissed by her family. They expect her to be cold and calculating at all times. In other words, they want her to be like Anne. When Anne later says she loves Henry Percy, the family stops listening to her temporarily.
