Early in the chapter, Minerva describes the time she freed a half-grown doe from her cage. “But she wouldn’t budge! She was used
to her little pen. I kept slapping her, harder each time, until she started whimpering like a scared child. I was the one hurting her, insisting she be free.” In what way might the doe symbolize/represent Minerva in this chapter (What was her cage? Who/what set her free?)
