And then, she does go on this enormous, psychological, often very high-octane, traumatizing, at times, experience that does change her significantly.
It changes her in the sense that she becomes aware that she does have agency over herself and over her own ability to survive something.
But what I also found intriguing and what I found to be really there, written into the character, was someone who had sort of become victim or almost prison to her own thinking about herself, what she was capable of and what she could or couldn’t do.
Some people have said things to me about how she’s captive or that there’s a kind of victim situation. And I don’t deny it because what I loved, in a way, was that it was really drawn into her in the beginning and we do find somebody who’s become victim to the circumstances of her relationship with her husband.
