Quote #8
[Henry to Clare:] "[…] if you are feeling boxed in by the idea that your future is unalterable, imagine how I feel. I'm constantly running up against the fact that I can't change anything even though I am right there, watching it." (1.4.246)
Henry explains to Clare that while she feels like she has no choice in what her future will bring, Henry has seen and experienced his future, which makes it that much harder for him to act as if he has complete free will.
