Literal meaning (plain paraphrase): Being forced to be patient while someone intentionally angers me makes my whole body shake; I will step back for now, but this interference that seems pleasant now will turn into the worst bitterness.
Deeper understanding for the character and plot: The speaker is holding back anger outwardly but is deeply unsettled and resentful; this line shows internal conflict and a warning that current restraint is fragile — what looks harmless or friendly now will later become hostile or vengeful. It signals a turning point: the character’s patience is temporary and the plot may escalate when that patience breaks.
One simple 9th-grade sentence: He’s pretending to be calm, but he’s actually furious and warns that his forced calm will soon turn into strong bitterness.
