The Price of Salt, or Carol Chapter 4 Quotes
How we cite the quotes:
(Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote 1
"My name? Carol. Please don't ever call me Carole." […]
"How do you like it pronounced? Therese?"
"Yes. The way you do," she answered. Carol pronounced her name the French way, Terez. (4.45, 4.47-4.48)
This is a weird little exchange, but it shows that Therese and Carol get each other on a certain level. But how does anyone else pronounce Therese's name? She never says.
Quote 2
And the husband? Therese could not see him at all. (4.30)
This is a telling statement on a few levels. One, Therese picks up that Carol is in an unhappy marriage. And two, Therese doesn't care about Carol's marriage at all—she has no qualms about pursuing Carol, even though Carol already has a family.
