Quote #10
Irina: I'm almost twenty-four, I've been working all this time, and my brain has shriveled up; I've lost my looks, I've gotten old, and nothing, nothing!…I don't understand why I'm still alive. I should have killed myself long ago. (3.99)
OK, so Irina's being a little dramatic. But time really has slipped through her fingers since her hopeful, excited entrance at the top of Act I. Frowny face.
