“Anjou had
been more than ready to make concessions; she could have loved him, she told
herself, yea, and make a success of the match. But Robert had made it his
business to suborn many who would have been in favor of it…” (341)
This quote
seemed important to me because it shows the “games” being played by Robert. He
is already married, but disapproves of Elizabeth’s future marriage. You don’t
see this type of strategy every day.
