About This Quote

And also because - Oh, my darling, my darling, forgive me; I’m going to cause you quite a lot of pain. The word “also” is used to indicate that the speaker is apologizing to the person who the statement is addressed to. For someone who has hurt them, it can be an apology for their anger. For example: “And also because I was so angry, I took it out on you.” The key here is that the speaker is apologizing for his actions.
