Summary

This quote exemplifies the feeling of unrest or frustration experienced by someone who feels trapped or confined, like a fly in a small space. The repetitive action of "turning" emphasizes the lack of direction or purpose in their existence, similar to a fly that aimlessly flies around without finding a suitable place to settle and end its life. This can symbolize a sense of being lost or lacking control, where one is trapped in a situation or environment that seems unbearable or daunting.
