What does Esther mean when she says she feels trapped under a bell jar?
Esther feels confused, and is depressed because of her mental conditions. She seems to be the delicate object enclosed in the bell jar. She is under the control and pressure of people at the hospital, which could represent the bell jar. Doctors and nurses didn’t treat her well at Gordons hospital, and should couldn’t do anything about their control over her and her treatments. Esthers condition makes her feel like she is failing at something because she doesn’t feel right with what has previously happened in her life.
