From the Paper:

"When she has one last chance at happiness, in Mitch she regales in the possibility(Williams pp). He needs her desperately and she needs to be needed. She longs to have somebody care if she is alive or dead and she needs someone to take care of as she believes it is her place to take care of a man. Everything comes crashing down for her however, when her past comes back to haunt her. She is left without Mitch's embrace or adoration and she knows it was the last chance she had to once again dance the loneliness away. She takes the final steps to insanity and gives up any hope of having a grasp on reality. "
