So, had she taken each events, such as the man placing his hand on hers, for what they were she would be able to make desicions in the moment?? Instead she made up her mind that she was a person who would not succumb to the mans advances, and that she was nothing more than his friend, when in fact at any moment in time she could change her mind since her comming to be is always in flux?
Is her freedom denied by the very fact that she assumes she is this person made up from her past? Or is she actually free in the first place?
