Quote by Cassandra Clare
She hated that will had this effect on her. Hated it. She knew better. She knew what he thought of her. That she was worth nothing. And still a look from him could make her tremble with mingled hatred and longing. It was like poison in her blood, to which Jem was the only antidote.
Summary
This quote describes the intense internal conflict the protagonist is experiencing. Despite being aware of the negative perception of her worth by Will, her attraction towards him proves to have a powerful influence over her emotions. The quote implies that just a glance from him can evoke both intense disdain and desire within her. The comparison to poison in her blood suggests that this internal struggle is debilitating and toxic. However, the mention of Jem as the "antidote" hints at the potential for a healthier and more fulfilling relationship in the protagonist's life.
