Quotation Explanation Effect on readers
Rodolfo a) “ If I take in my
hands a little bird.
And she grows and
wishes to fly. But I
will not let her out of
my hands beachse I
love her so much, is
that right for me to
do?” (Rodolpho to
Catherine)
b) “She’ll be my
wife”
a) This is a
metaphor for
Catherine’s and
Eddie’s relationship.
He is trying to say
that if you love
someone, then you
should want her to
be happy and to
wish her the best
everything, if it
makes her smile.
Loving is not about
wanting someone to
be just for you, is
about wanting that
person to be the
happiest she can.
b)In this second
quote, Rodolpho
reassures Eddie that
he will marry
Catherine. He is not
going to let his love
go to Eddie, and he
assured him that.
a)The first quote
makes the readers
realize that
Rodolpho is not
blind to Eddies
affection towards
Catherine.
b)This quote makes
the readers feel the
real love Rodolpho
feels towards
Catherine, and that
he will not surrender
her love towards
Catherine to Eddie.
- 2. Eddie a) “Get your stuff
and get outa here”
b) “You ain’t goin’
nowheres”
a)I’m this first quote,
you can see Eddie
clearly mad at
Rodolpho. The
thought of Rodolpho
and Catherine
sexually together,
enrages Eddie so
much, he kicks
Rodolpho out of the
house.
b) Eddie says this to
Catherine as she
wants to leave with
Rodolpho when
Eddie kicks him out
of his house. He
shows that he loves
her so much that
she won’t get away
from him that easy
and he also shows
how overprotective
he is.
a)This first quote
makes you feel the
anger within Eddie.
He clearly despises
Rodolpho and does
not wish to see him,
or anyone, near
Catherine in a
more-than-friendly-w
ay. And the fact that
he is drunk, makes
his feelings and
thoughts come to
light.
b) This quote makes
the readers feel the
protective side
Eddie shows when
talking about
Catherine. He will
not let her go, and
here you can see
that he is going to
stop trying to
convince Catherine
to stay in the house
with words, but this
time with force. This
quote highlights
something
Catherine says
before, and proves
her right, that she,
indeed, should be
afraid of Eddie, “I’m
afraid of Eddie here.
This quote shows
that Eddie has
finally taken his
actions too far.
- 3. Catherine a) “I’m afraid of
Eddie here”
b)“Hold me”
a)In that quote,
Katie is telling
Rodolpho that she is
not comfortable with
Eddie in this
moment of her life.
She is afraid of him,
and what he might
do to Rodolpho.
b)In the second
quote, Catherine is
shown in a
vulnerable, where
she doesn’t know
what to do, and she
just wants Rodolpho
to hold her and
comfort her.
a)This quote makes
readers realize that
Catherine is not
completely blind to
what is happening
on er surroundings.
She might not know
that Eddie has
strong feelings
towards her, but she
does know that his
behaviour has
changed, and not in
a positive way.
b)This second
quotation shows
Catherine
vulnerably. It shows
that even though
she always tries to
stay strong in front
of others, and not
look like a baby, she
lets her wall down
for Rodolpho, so he
could comfort her
and show her his
love.
