Quote by Ann Brashares
Her body was a prison, her mind was a prison. Her memories were a prison. The people she loved. She couldn't get away from the hurt of them. She could leave Eric, walk out of her apartment, walk forever if she liked, but she couldn't escape what really hurt. Tonight even the sky felt like a prison.
Summary
This quote portrays a deep and suffocating sense of imprisonment experienced by the protagonist. It illustrates how the character is trapped not just physically, but also emotionally and mentally. The mention of her body and mind as prisons indicates a feeling of being confined and constrained in every aspect of her being. The reference to the people she loves suggests that even personal relationships can contribute to this feeling of imprisonment and pain. The line about the sky further describes the extent to which this sense of entrapment affects her, to the point where even nature feels restrictive.
