RE: In the devil's cauldron - A Pop-Up WeWrite Contest!
Thank you so much for your entry!
I love the good conscience and the bad conscience speaking to her and to each other. It reminds me so much of my own thoughts whenever I have tried to break a bad habit. Still, she knows the importance of taking care of herself in order to bear her duties, however hard they are. I have found that a lot of women have a fantasy of getting in their car and driving away from it all, but none of them have actually done it. I wonder what your character will do, her temptation is very strong.
I am delighted you wrote an entry. I feel honored every time someone does. Thank you.
I think she has it in her head that her life beside him, though unworthy and suffocating, is her life and I doubt that she would dare to do anything more than complain and recriminate him, in her thinking. Besides, she is medicated, one more reason to be dependent and, in a way, to feel handicapped. I don't think she'd dare give it up.
Thank you for the opportunity, it was wonderful to penetrate the character's mind to "feel" his mute suffering.
Oh! I read her taking her own pill as taking care of herself, which in a way it is. She could take a pill that helps her cope and so keeps her imprisoned. I think so far you are the only one who showed compassion for the "patient". I love that you took it that way.
Poor! She thing became a psychiatric patient from putting up with so much verbal violence without complaining.
This is timely, relevant, and insightful: she is medicated, one more reason to be dependent and, in a way, to feel handicapped. I don't think she'd dare give it up. This is more than a story; it's a case study. Bravo!
