Talk:An Unwanted Passenger/@comment-25170312-20180202194148

So I've been thinking a lot lately about my stories and what they mean and why I wrote them. I've come to realize that this pasta is a metaphor for my issues with my own sexuality and the fact that childbirth makes me both jealous and horrified. The little boy represents myself at an age where I was exposed to sex without understanding it. Mary is my desire to have children. She doesn't mention a husband or boyfriend because my desire to have children has nothing to do with that. Esther represents my fear of the physical and emotional effects of childbirth and my disgust towards the actual act of giving birth, despite the fact that it's supposed to be a beautiful experience.
