Saskia Verlaan shows the importance of her subject in her memoir by comparing herself to Picasso's painting the "Weeping Woman". Verlaan herself said that her "Memories of experiencing fear have seemed contorted(pg1 par.4) One may comprehend by Verlaan's quote that she has experienced fear so many times that they overlap eachother and she can't assimilate each one in a correct way. As we observe the "Weeping Woman" one can notice how some of the woman's face just overlaps over itself just like Verlaan's thoughts and memories have become "muddled" or distorted. Verlaan also many times says that fear causes her to be confused and even though she says that "I have tried so often to unerstand myself through the disregard of the fractures and irregularities within my memories(pg 5 par.4)". She is unable to understand herself because fear has damaged her emotionally and has caused her to have many issues.
