Yvette delves into the complexities of self-worth and identity, particularly in relation to the choices one is forced to make based on their circumstances. It explores the tension between societal expectations and personal values, as the protagonist grapples with the realization of her mother's occupation. This internal conflict brings about a desire for escape, ultimately leading to a profound crisis of purpose and a contemplation of self-destruction. The protagonist's struggle to break free from a life she feels trapped in reflects the human desire for autonomy and dignity, while also confronting the stark reality of dependence on a luxurious lifestyle. Themes of self-doubt and the search for a more authentic existence unfold as the character seeks to redefine herself, moving from thoughts of death to a psychological awakening. The accidental discovery of mind-altering experiences serves as a turning point, symbolizing a shift from despair to a form of liberation, though it raises questions about the true nature of freedom and the mind's power to shape reality.
