I have often heard people speak about how people in today’s society seem to feel more alone than they have ever done in past decades. Because we are becoming so independent, we also lose some relations to other people that we would previously had, when people were more independent of each other and particularly their families. Sometimes your carrier or other dreams require you to move to another city or even another country far away from our family and friends. This is very normal. We say that the world has become so small, and people move all around it. This can be very exciting and giving, but nothing is so good, that isn’t bad for something. In this story the main character is all alone except for the negative company she gets. Maybe with some better support, she would be much better functioning.
Marjorie suffers from agoraphobia, and lives a lonely life, separated from almost all humans. Her life mostly consists of taking care of her fish, which are her pride. She is very happy with them, but less happy that the manipulative Mick comes to her flat to terrorise her psychologically. The story begins with describing Marjorie’s living room, it is written in present form, which makes it more relatable and easier to get in to, I think. It is written from a 3 person narrator, who describes both the physical surroundings and Marjorie’s thoughts and memories. This means that this is an all-knowing narrator.
