Quote #4
They did not know that I did it for myself; that pride, whose slave I was, spoke to me louder than all their voices and that Doodle walked only because I was ashamed of having a crippled brother. (3.18)
We think Brother is being way too hard on himself. If he didn't love Doodle in a deeper way, would he have spent so much time with him? We doubt it. If he didn't get along with Doodle, he would have found a way to escape hanging out with him.
Quote #5
I should have already admitted defeat but my pride wouldn't let me. (4.10)
This is a bad moment for Brother. When he takes Doodle to Horsehead Swamp that Saturday before the first day of school, he knows it's too late to meet the goals he set for Doodle. Again we see shame and pride coming together. Brother can't deal with the shame of 'failing,' so he continues trying when he knows it's futile.
