The Woman in Black Revenge Quotes

How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote #4

"In some violent or dreadful circumstance, a child has died." (11.124)

Jennet's revenge is randomly killing the town's kids. Way harsh. And it doesn't even seem to make her feel better, since she does it over and over again.

Quote #5

There was nothing else the woman could do to me, surely, I had endured and survived. (11.146)

See that "surely"? That's two big, fat syllables of foreshadowing. When Arthur says "surely," we immediately know that the woman isn't done with him yet.

Quote #6

"You told me that night—" I took a deep breath to try and calm myself. "A child—a child in Crythin Gifford has always died." (12.6)

Arthur fears the woman in black will take revenge on the town because he happened to see her. He's both right and wrong—she's going to take revenge, but not on the townsfolk.
