About This Quote
When an author of the book, "The Bell Jar," Esther Greenwood wrote, “Suicide seemed to me the greatest kind of freedom, a release from everything, from a life that had been ruined a long time ago,” she is speaking of her struggle with depression. She has now reached a point where she is ready to give up. She believes that suicide is the only way out. However, her depression causes her to question her decision and causes her to leave that door open just in case there is another way to do things.
