I did not see how she could ever live a functioning life after all of the things that she went through.

Yet, she was not the only person who had a right to his last moments above the earth, it seemed. Everyone, from the family who knew nothing of the anguish he had suffered in his last years, to the colleagues who saw him every day but hadn’t actually seen him, to the long-lost friends and passing acquaintances who were surprised to find that he was married, let alone dead, wanted to have a last chance to gaze upon him in his open coffin and say goodbye.

    Ashford, talks to Vivian about one her assignments. While Vivian is told to redo the assignment, her professor tells that it is not the point and she should “enjoy herself” much like “ the other students.” Vivian walks out and briefly contemplates taking her advice of her professor, but ultimately heads back to library to further her understanding of “metaphysical conceit.” In this scene is opts for the isolation of the library and the metaphors in words, instead of the physical company of other people to satisfy her obsessive sagacity. Once again, she ignores the hesitation and proceeds to metaphorically bury herself in her work as there was no definitive force to make her do otherwise. Contrastingly, Vivian is forced to deal with cancer and the impending death that hides behind it. This metaphysical force drives her to deal with the human nature of mortality. In a conversation with the head nurse, Susie, she voices her uncertainties saying, “I don’t feel sure of myself anymore” and “I can’t figure things out, I’m in a… quandary having these… doubts.” She then breaks down and admits her feelings toward acknowledgement of her confliction with “I’m scared.” Similarly she is once again forced this time physically with a choice in which she has to give an answer to being a DNR, do not resuscitate. To this Vivian responds to Susie’s confirmation of “So, if your heart stops beating-” with “Let it stop.” She
