Ch. 11 Pg. 195 Q. 1

If one is lucky enough to realize that he or she is in a go-nowhere-relationship then there is an opportunity to let one's agency do some work. Once all of the complications have been worked out, like hurting someone and changing what could be an intense routine, one can see what else society and life has to offer. A go-nowhere-relationship doesn't automatically mean that agency can be produced. There is a great possibility but one of the people in the relationship has to be moved to enable it on account of what could be a limitless amount of possibilities of catalysts coercing this person to do such a thing.

Escape enabled by the imprisonment that it presupposes? I'm sort of confused but I suppose that being imprisoned can motivate someone to go to extreme measures to escape whatever is imprisoning them within the realm of possibility and reality. Like, the more it starts to dawn on someone that they are trapped the more fervor they put into trying to be un-trapped. An example, the premise of the movie The Shawshank Redemption. Andy Dufresne, an accountant, was falsely-convicted and forced to cook the books of the warden at the prison. He was in an impossible situation with literally no hope. But a love for gemstones forced him to ask his buddy, Red, the go-to guy in prison for finding stuff, to get him a tiny pick-ax. The story that we don't see until the end of the movie is that Andy has spent 17 years pick-axing his way through a small tunnel. Does he escape? Watch the movie. Anyway, he used his imprisonment to escape. He tapped into his agency and slowly but surely it granted him positive results.
