*“My life has been stolen from me. I am living in a town I have no wish to live in. I am living... a life I have no wish to live. How did this happen? […] If I were thinking clearly, Leonard, I would tell you: that I wrestle alone... in the dark, in the deep dark and that only I can know... only I can understand my own condition. You live with the threat, you tell me. You live with the threat of my extinction. Leonard, I live with it too. This is my right. It is the right of every human being. I choose not the suffocating anesthetic of these suburbs… but the violent jilt of the capital, that is my choice! The meanest patient, just even the very lowest, is allowed some say in the matter of her own prescription. Thereby she defines her humanity. I wish, for your sake, Leonard, that I were happy in this quietness but if it is choice between Richmond and death... I choose death.”* I don’t like the way I’m crying about nearly everything Virginia Woolf’s character says in this film because it hits too close home… I wish I had more to say since I am writing a dissertation on seclusion imposed on women but, unfortunately (or not, if we’re thinking poetically), I always feel a little shaken when witnessing it so vividly. *“You think... you think I may one day escape?”*
