Quote #10
WINNIE
I am weary, holding it up, and I cannot put it down. I am worse off with it up than with it down, and I cannot put it down. (1.31)
Again, Winnie is referring to one of her possessions (the parasol), but it seems as if she's also referring to the need to keep living and the need to stay positive. Then again, it also seems like she's trapped—trapped in a web of positive thinking, perhaps.
