Physical Condition – Symbol of Emotional Pain

The character does not have a traditional fictional identity because she is actually a reflection of the author herself. She represents a real woman who struggles with her mental and physical health, especially with depression, addiction, and disordered eating. Through this character, the author shows the fragile state of the human mind and body when dealing with trauma and emotional pain.

One of the most important aspects of this character is her relationship with food and her body. She shows signs similar to anorexia. She refuses to eat, loses weight, and becomes physically weak.

Mental State and Addiction

The character also deals with emotional instability and addiction. She often uses drugs as a way to escape reality and numb her feelings.

She feels disconnected from reality, as if her mind is drifting away.

Her mind is always moving between dreams and reality, and she finds more comfort in imagination than in the real world. This mental state makes her appear distant, isolated, and unable to connect with other people.

In the book, there are other people such as doctors, distant male figures, and strangers, but the character never develops a strong relationship with them. These people represent society, control, or emotional disappointment. She is always in a state of loneliness, even when she is not physically alone. This isolation is central to her identity. Instead of seeking support from others, she turns inward, into her dreams and fears.
