so beautiful i mean .
Remember the therapist's part?
Beck was the rat and Joe's relationship was the house? And Joe wanted to trap the rat?
He trapped her.
And this is an elaborate metaphor for what was going on all throughout the story,
Joe cut out the world around her and made it smaller for her, just so he could make it nicer for her,
she's literally in a box now, and no amount of paper and typewriters is going to make it nice.
