Quote #7

WINNIE

Shower—Shower —does the name mean anything—to you, Willie—evoke any reality, I mean— (1.31)

What does Winnie mean by "evoking" a reality? It could mean that she's recreating her memories because real life is just too hard to deal with. The mind is a powerful thing.

Quote #8

WINNIE

Do you think the earth has lost its atmosphere, Willie? (2.1)

What a crazy idea, huh? However, this is a possibility that could fit in well with the absurdist nature of life. It could also mean that Winnie is finally acknowledging the absurdity of her situation.

Quote #9

WINNIE

Ah yes, things have their life, that is what I always say, things have a life. (2.1)

We all have objects and keepsakes that mean a lot to us, but how much do we mean to them? It could be argued that our possessions, and the world we live in, mean more to us than we mean to them.
