Confidence

Charlotte, who is not confident and cannot feel love, is the late child in the family. Her mother controls her clothes and decides what books to read... Because the heroine's source of income is the family, she must listen to her. The heroine met Jeremiah Duveany Durrance, the white moonlight, during a voyage out for treatment of psychological problems. He bought her perfume and spent a lot of time with her, making her feel like she could be cherished. But because he has a family, they can't be together. Returning home, a refreshed Charlotte begins her rebellion against motherhood. Later, he became friends with Jeremiah's daughter by mistake (the heroine saw her thinking of her younger self). The director very badly made the little girl Tina hostile to Charlotte and thought she was a nurse in disguise "Didn't she already know my name", so that Tina and her father called me to know that she was the daughter of Jerry's son. I thought it was a simple heroine who rescued the other children.

-I'm ugly, and nobody likes me.

- whoever wants that kind of prettines? There's something else you can have if you earn it, a kind of beauty. Something that's nothing to do with your face. A light that shines from inside because you're nice.

-You want people to like you, you've got to like people.

-Because somebody was good to me once when i needed somebody.

Now, Voyager quotes

  • Jerry: If I were free, there would be only one thing I'd want to do - prove you're not immune to happiness. Would you want me to prove it, Charlotte? Tell me you would. Then I'll go. Why, darling, you are crying.

    Charlotte: I'm such a fool, such an old fool. These are only tears of gratitude - an old maid's gratitude for the crumbs offered.

    Jerry: Don't talk like that.

    Charlotte: You see, no one ever called me "darling" before.

  • Dora Pickford: [about Mrs. Vale] She wants to see you.

    Charlotte Vale: I know: "At once!"

    Dora Pickford: She's had two hours' sleep and she's bright as a button! And mad, 'cause she smelled the fire and sent Hilda to investigate. Now, if I were you, I'd just let her blow off her steam. I put two tablespoons of sherry and a sleeping powder in her hot milk, so it shouldn't last long. I'll wait right outside the door.

    Charlotte Vale: Dora, I suspect you're a treasure.
