How we cite our quotes: (Act.Line)
Quote #1
WINNIE
World without end Amen. (1.1)
It seems like Winnie is grateful for a life of confinement. How important is the idea of free will to Winnie, especially as it relates to her religious beliefs?
Quote #2
WINNIE
…woe woe is me—to see what I see. (1.1)
It's not like Winnie can change her vista (or can she?). She's stuck in the way she sees things, both literally and metaphorically. And yet, we wonder how much of that confinement is self-imposed, especially considering the fact she has arms and hands to dig herself out.
Quote #3
WINNIE
...that is what I find so wonderful, it all comes back. All? No, not at all... A part. Floats up, one fine day, out of the blue. (1.7)
This line suggests that Winnie only regards her imprisonment as a temporary situation and that she will be right back where she used to be—back on her own two feet and free to move around.
