Quote #4
"You miserable child! Ten years from now, who knows? It might disgrace you." (1.26.72)
Father Pirard is quick to warn Julien about the risks he runs by keeping a note from a local girl in his trunk. Julien is, after all, attending priest's school. It doesn't look all that great to be sneaking out and trying to have sex with the local girls.
Quote #5
After long hesitation, which an observer might have thought caused by strong distaste—so hard is it for a woman to abandon her sense of what she owes herself, even in yielding to a will equally strong—Mathilde ended by becoming his loving mistress. (2.16.46)
Mathilde hesitates for a long time when Julien tries convincing her to have sex with him. But in the end, Julien's charm wins out and Mathilde consents. The narrator is sure to remind us, though, that Mathilde is just as strong-willed as Julien. Just because she agrees to have sex doesn't mean Julien holds the upper hand in their relationship.
Quote #6
Who could describe Julien's overflowing happiness? Mathilde's was almost as great. (2.19.39)
It's only when Julien and Mathilde admit their love for one another that they both allow themselves to feel true happiness. They've spent a long time playing their love games, and now it's finally time for both of them to own up to what they feel for one another.
