"But in her new home, in a distant unknown country, it would not be like that. Then she would be married- she, Eveline. People would treat her with respect then." PAGE 219
The way I see it, I think that Eveline is in a major quandary. She does not know if she should stay or move away with her secret lover. She is torn between the love of her mother and the love of her new boyfriend. She wants to stay because she told her mother she would take care of things, but she actually wants to leave and get a better life. She is unhappy in her current circumstance, but she is afraid of leaving. I think for her own good, she should stay. Her father has never actually hurt her and she is comfortable there. She is apprehensive about the unknown that would come with moving to another country. I also think she should stay because even if he doesn't say it, her father needs her. She has already lost her mother and one brother, so I think it is important for her to stay close to her family. Marrying someone her father does not like would also cause a major rift in her relationship. She would be further from the love that she is longing for.
