Quote #10
[…] with me loving meant tyrannising and showing my moral superiority. […] Love really consists in the right – freely given by the beloved object – to tyrannise over her. (2.10.2)
"Liza!" I cried, more loudly.
No answer. But at that minute I heard the stiff outer glass door open heavily with a creak and slam violently; the sound echoed up the stairs.
She had gone. I went back to my room in hesitation. I felt horribly oppressed. (2.10.11-3)
Notice that the Underground Man feels "oppressed" both before and after Liza leaves.
