Paul_Breslin:

"is it really that much different than Garbo wanting to be left alone or Woolf's desire for a room of her own?"

Not so different at all! (And seeing it that way explains why the voice that calls her promises "we can give you solitude"--as if it's understood that without some guarantee of solitude, there's no way she's going back.)

Mr. B., that's one of the most perceptive and to-the-point comments I've seen yet -- as is islandtime's, from its own point of view.
