Quote #7
Maggie always writhed under this judgment of Tom’s: she rebelled and was humiliated in the same moment. (6.4.38)
This pretty much sums up Maggie’s tormented relationship with her brother. He has the power to humiliate her and make her feel ashamed. But Maggie also internally resists Tom’s judgment and hates him somewhat for it.
Quote #8
"I should not give you up on any ground but your own wish, Maggie," said Philip, colouring. "There are points on which I should always resist my father, as I used to tell you. That is one." (6.7.16)
Philip’s views on family provide an interesting contrast to Maggie’s views. Philip is willing to rebel and go against his father’s wishes if need be. Philip’s loyalties and love lie outside of his family, with Maggie.
Quote #9
"It’s respect and duty to her aunts and the rest of her kin as are so good to her, should have kept my niece from fixing about going away again, without consulting us." (6.12.12)
Aunt Glegg’s view of family duty is one of obligation – family members are practically beholden to one another and should never act independently. Or least not without consulting the family (i.e., Mrs. Glegg) first.
