I take the story at pretty much at face value. The point being that what would be best for this woman's environment is not necessarily what would be best for her. In sum, there is a conflict of interested. The story also says some things about the world we live in, and makes her reluctance to live in it is quite comprehensible.

I will be posting more stories like these in the coming days, and some of them may be very disturbing psychologically or emotionally. I apologize for this, but i really need to vent some of my thoughts and feelings, so my sanity sort of depends on it. I thank you in advance for your tolerance and understanding.

That was not the purpose of the story, but you are quite right in yopur comparisson.

I agree that it is tragic, but for whom. Part of the tragedy is about the world in which she refuses to live.
