The main character never really seems all right in this story. At first you're given the impression that the woman has, or is overcoming, some kind of physical illness. But after a while, you come to the realization that she's pretty much screwed in the head. The story doesn't give much background information, or insight into the main character's life. Therefore, the whole time I read it, I was wondering about why she was so messed up, and what, exactly, was going on.

It's just that there were all these little hints that would suggest he did have something to do with it. Like at the end when she tells him that she has gotten out and he cant put her back, and how the guy is alway
