You know, finding out that this guy also wrote 'My Angela' the story makes a lot of sense.
'We hurt the ones we love.' Is a theme that is seen in both the other work and in this one. Metaphors are used to highlight the ab*se that people put others through, either by taking away their freedom or hurting them to keep them with you. It's bleak, I'll give you that but it definitely is a metaphor for ab*se in one way or another.
(Also, please don't romanticize this.)
