“She loved me for the dangers I had passed · And I loved her that she did pity them”

Where'd You Go Bernadette

The expression “She loved me for the dangers I had passed / And I loved her that she did pity them” supplies Soo-Lin Lee-Segal with a literary shorthand for her growing intimacy with Elgin Branch. Quoted from a speech in Shakespeare’s Othello, the lines let her frame their bond through danger, sympathy, and love.
