How we cite our quotes: (Paragraph)
Quote #7
"But you know you needn't worry, Mother, don't you?" the boy repeated.
"I should be awfully glad to know it," she said wearily. (199-200)
"Know" is another ironic term in the text, as it refers only to that which the characters are already conscious of. The stuff they really need to know to help solve their problems is all the unconscious stuff: Paul's madness, the desire for money, the weird mother-son dynamic.
Quote #8
Paul's secret of secrets was his wooden horse, that which had no name. (203)
Paul's rocking horse is another object in the house that has magical properties to it. We wonder what kind of magic…
Quote #9
What in God's name was it? She ought to know. She felt that she knew the noise. She knew what it was.
Yet she could not place it. She couldn't say what it was. And on and on it went, like a madness. (219-20)
Here's another part where a character isn't in tune with the unconscious truth. It's another instance where "God" is referenced ironically.
