Marriage Quotes in The Danish Girl

How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)

Quote #4

It was a small wedding, only cousins from San Marino and Hancock Park and Newport Beach. (4.44)

Greta's family wants to keep it small because they are embarrassed. We're unsure how many people attended Greta and Einar's wedding later. What do you think their wedding looked like?

Quote #5

She could defy anyone in the world except her husband. (8.10)

Once again, we see Greta's devotion to Einar—and here it foreshadows the fact that she will defy Lili later on. Greta married Einar, not Lili. Lili isn't her husband, so Greta can defy her.

Quote #6

For a moment, Einar felt like defying his wife. (9.16)

Compare this with the previous quote. It doesn't seem like a huge difference, but it is. Greta wouldn't even think of defying Einar, and although Einar doesn't defy Greta, he thinks about it.
