Quote #4
'It is a city of light […] The tree of knowledge grows there." (1.3.42-3)
Have you ever wanted something so badly, or have you ever liked a girl or a boy so much that you totally convince yourself that the thing or the person you're after is just perfect? You get so excited that you may end up describing them like they're not even from this world. Well, big dreams can do that, and that's what his Christminster hopes and plans do to Jude.
Quote #5
He ran about and smiled […] smiled with that singularly beautiful irradiation which is seen to spread on young faces at the inception of a glorious idea" (1.4.26)
The hatching of the plan often turns out to be the best part of the plan. Unfortunately for Jude (and many others), the plan doesn't always work out like it does in your mind when you first come up with it.
Quote #6
'Well, it's only a bit of fun' (1.6.60)
O, Jude. You poor, poor boy. This quote is what Jude says to himself about pursuing Arabella. Of course, this 'bit of fun' is the first thing that throws him off track in pursuing his dream, and it turns out to be a bit of fun that will haunt him for the rest of his life.
