Quote #7
Her dark eyes held him, the boy was transfixed. "Anne," he whispered. "My love. Her lips curved into a kissable, irresistible smile. "Henry," she breathed. "My Henry." (5.260)
Anne says she loves Henry Percy, but notice here that she doesn't say "love." She calls him "my Henry" as if she has him wrapped around her little finger, not like she actually loves him.
Quote #8
"You're always in love," Anne said crossly. "You're like a big butter ball, always oozing love for someone or other. Once it was the king and we did very well out of that. Now it's his baby, which will do us no good at all. But you don't care. It's always seep seep seep with you: passion and feeling and desire. It makes me furious." (9.124)
Anne sees love as a weakness, whether it's familial love between parent and child, or romantic love between two adults.
Quote #9
"Didn't I give up my only love, didn't I break my heart? Didn't you tell me then that it was worth the price?" (20.46)
Anne calls out George on his hypocritical attitude toward love. George thinks he should be allowed to pursue his love with Sir Francis Weston, even though he discouraged both sisters from pursuing the men they loved.
