Holly's dislike for cages emulates her own feelings that she doesn't like to be caged, or tied down. Holly's indirect reference to herself as a wild thing (74) is mirrored thought the novel. She never names the cat because she says she doesn't own it, she refuses to call the narrator by his real name, instead she insists on calling him Fred. All of these things are because she doesn't want to belong to anyone or anything. She wants to remain an independent spirit. What she doesn't realize, is that even with her attempts to keep herself distanced from everyone, she still has an impact on their life, she is still part of their life. | |||
