Quote #7
We stopped and we saw that their eyes, so hard and scornful to the world, were looking at us as if they would obey any word we might speak. (4.1)
There's something a strange in the whole Liberty 5-3000-Equality 7-2521 dynamic. Equality 7-2521 thinks it's attractive that Liberty 5-3000's contemptuous of everybody else. But Liberty 5-3000's attitude towards Equality 7-2521 seems strangely submissive.
Quote #8
We have followed you," they said, "and we shall follow you wherever you go. If danger threatens you, we shall face it also. If it be death, we shall die with you. You are damned, and we wish to share your damnation." (9.15)
This is an important statement from Liberty 5-3000 here. She's just chosen to follow Equality 7-2521 into the forest, without being sure of finding him. She's also chosen to leave her society behind forever, and "damn" herself with him. Basically, she's saying she can't live without him, and wants to undergo anything he undergoes, even death. Is he as devoted to her as she is to him?
Quote #9
Your eyes are as a flame, but our brothers have neither hope nor fire. Your mouth is cut of granite, but our brothers are soft and humble. Your head is high, but our brothers cringe. You walk, but our brothers crawl. We wish to be damned with you, rather than blessed with all our brothers. Do as you please with us, but do not send us away from you." (9.17)
Liberty 5-3000 sounds positively worshipful here. If this quote isn't enough to show it, right after saying this she bows to Equality 7-2521. Something about how strong and capable and manly attracts her, and she downright reveres him for it.
