Quote #4
"Yes, look at you!" She rounded on me with a sudden flare of her dark energy. "Married when you were still a child and now the king's mistress. Half as clever as me! Half as educated! But you are the center of the court and I am nothing. I have to be your lady in waiting. I cannot serve you, Mary. It's an insult to me." (5.180)
The jealousy between sisters goes both ways, although Anne's is rooted in her superior attitude. She thinks she deserves more than Mary just because she's that much more fabulous, and she hates it when she doesn't get it.
Quote #5
"He's courting me," she said. "Openly."
"Anne, he is my lover." (14.322-14.323)
We have to wonder why Anne seduces Henry. Does she like him? Doubtful. Does she do it for power? Likely. Or does she only do it to take what Mary has? What do you think?
Quote #6
"She's just jealous. She'd give a king's ransom to be on the bed with me in the afternoon, and I'd as soon put my head into a mantrap as on her lap." (26.44)
Jane becomes nosier and more and more gossipy as the novel progresses, but it's wrong to write off her behavior as mere jealousy. In fact, she is working on betraying the family and bringing about their downfall. That's taking things to a whole new level.
