Those situations are hard to escape from and in her position, women just feel trapped and have not another choice but do what she did in the story and the story illustrates it perfectly in a very subtle and indirect way.<br /><br />One thing that was original is how the woman does not try to cover up what she has done or refuse to answer questions but she confesses to what she has done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1289201915273996479.post-58412693063741303402010-02-26T08:13:49.605+00:002010-02-26T08:13:49.605+00:00This is an issue that can not be written about eno...This is an issue that can not be written about enough either through fiction or non fiction or through efforts for it can help put a stop to it. One of the keys is to get people talking about it and fiction and non fiction are some good ways to do it. <br /><br />This is also another good example on here of stream of consciousness and how it explores through concise dialogue the inner conflict of the cop he does not want to arrest her but it is his job. <br /><br />The author could have been a cop for this story shows he seems to have a good understanding of what they feel inside. <br /><br />However, I think it could have worked if the cop just walked away after she told her story and it ended with her asking him "Aren't you going to arrest me, sir....sir?" <br /><br />However, it was a twist ending all the time, for he does arrest in a lot of other stories, they let the woman get away but I have read some where they did arrest them anyway, so it is unpredictable for they have not followed just one direction.
