“Mustn’t crowd my luck.”
Braling‘s awareness of the risks associated with using a marionette hints at the impending consequences. This quote introduces an element of foreshadowing, suggesting that the pursuit of personal freedom may come at a cost.
“Why, It’s a ticket for Rio on the Thursday rocket!”
“Poor Smith, your marriage hasn’t exactly been roses, has it?”
Braling’s remark underlines how he and Smith reinforce one another’s dissatisfaction with their marriages. The emphasis on “your” implies that Braling is also unhappily married. The reference to roses, traditionally associated with romance, underlines the ideal of love compared to its reality. This passage highlights the theme of Marriage Versus Individual Desires.
