Revealing Love

"Remembrance of every mark regard in look or word which fell from him while at Barton, and above all to that flattering proof of it which he constantly wore round his finger." Pg97

This is an important moment in the novel because it is the first time when Eleanor actually expresses any feelings of love towards Edward. Before this point it appears that they are good friends and nothing more, but after she states this you can see that he is always on her mind and that they really are inlove because he wears her hair around his finger. From this we can also see a drastic difference in Marianne and Eleanor because Marrianne's feelings are always very obvious, where as you never really know how Eleanor is feeling.
