It shows how Eva struggles to attain personal freedom, since she finds herself confined in a very unfulfilled and unhappy marriage. Eventually, she is able to liberate herself from the constraints under which she must operate by renaming herself with her own values. 11 pgs. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
