About This Quote

In this quote, Charlotte is not a prisoner of a cruel master. She is a captive of her own heart. She becomes so attached to her master, she becomes the master. She allows him to control her emotions and thoughts, even though she knows they are not right for her.

In this quote, Charlotte does not go against the wishes of her master. She does not speak out against him or try to escape his power over her life. Instead, she allows him to control her and allow him to take all the credit for her life's happiness.

This is an issue many women face. They allow their husband or father to take credit for making them happy and give them all the power that should actually be theirs.
