do you think that james and lily's relationship was affected by the slave code and society around them? or do you think they jut didn't care and chose to go against everyone for the sake of their love?

James and Lily's relationship was affected by the slave code and the society. The upbringing that James received and the way society treated the "slave" made it difficult for James to be open about his feelings for Lily.

I think James and Lily's relationship was affected by the slave code and society around them. Their relationship wasn't easy and I feel it was a bit strained due to societal circumstances and the different positions they bore in their world.

It was definitely affected by the slave code. I mean what kind of relationship could one really have when everything has to be hidden and careful coordinated away from society's eye. While we do see the courage of Lily, there was only so much that could have been done without fear of being caught and condemned by society

I think their relationship is affected by the slave codes and the society. That's why they have to do things together secretly. I think they are afraid of not only the condemnation by society but also the possibility of outrage, even violence against them. From this perspective, they just do the right thing that they can.

Society and slave code did affect their relationship. I think their different upbringings made it so that they understood very little about each other. That lack of understanding makes the relationship feel forced, even if the attraction and affection are present.

I agree with you. I think the upbringing is also one of the factors in their forced looking relationship.

Despite the fact that it was not explicitly stated, it is clear that the slave code and society have an impact on their relationship. They go to some lengths to hide things simply to show their affection. As a result, the aforementioned factors have an effect on their connection, yet they endear each other.

Well, of course James' and lily's relationship was affected by the slave code and society. I could tell that they genuinely loved each other, but other people just could not accept that. As a result, they kept hurting each other.

Society affected their relationship in a very negative way. First of all, James had to take her to a very far place before he made his feelings known to her. She also found it weird about what people will think about them

I would say that no matter how anyone feels, ones societal upbringing would have an effect on them. I think James felt uncomfortable to open up because of the upbringing he had. He didn't seem quite okay with what people would say.

The wide gap in social status created by the slave code affected the relationship between Lily and James. The fact that they had to hide their relationship and affection for each other from society created a strain in their relationship. With this, I think they just had to do everything for the sake of their love.

I think that their relationship was affected by the societal norms at that time. It was not easy or natural for James and Lily to open up to each other because that was how they had been brought up.

I think that James and Lily's relationship was definitely affected by society. There was even a time when they were young that James' father actively prevented them from being friends. They even had to hide their relationship. From all I read, I think their relationship was affected by the times.

It definitely affected them. Although James wanted to be open about his feelings towards lily. The slave code stopped him. This does not necessarily make him a bad person.
