Quote #4
"Yet there are thoughts which cannot be kept out of mind, and that one was mine. Must I not have a voice in the matter, now that I am your wife and the sharer of your doom?" (4.2.18)
Leave it to Eustacia to overstate the situation. But she does raise a very interesting point about marriage, and particularly Victorian marriage, in which a woman actually was legally her husband's property. In a very real and even legal sense Eustacia is the "sharer" of her husband's fortune, for good or ill. Eustacia also uses a nice rhetorical question here to get her point across – she would have made a very nice orator.
Quote #5
"To sit by him hour after hour, and hear him reproach himself as being the cause of her death, and to know that I am the sinner, if any human being is at all, drives me into cold despair. I don't know what to do." (5.1.63)
Eustacia's style of speaking emphasizes how upset she is – she uses a string of clauses, which sets a very fast rhythm to her speech and demonstrates how many swirling thoughts are going on in her head. The contrast between those clauses and her short concluding sentence is notable as well.
Quote #6
It was bitterly plain to Eustacia that he did not care much about social failure; and the proud fair woman bowed her head and wept in sick despair at thought of the blasting effect upon her own life of the mood and condition in him. (4.2.63)
The word choice here sets up a fantastic contrast to the overall scene – Clym is singing a happy song earlier in the passage, and we then shift to this detailed description of Eustacia's despair. The idea of a happy song having a "blasting" effect is a great juxtaposition, or an idea with contrasting elements.
