Agency is constrained and enabled by context just like anything else. It is enabled because the context is what creates the experience and situation on which to base agency upon. It is constrained because that context is all we know. Wanting to get out of a bad relationship enables agency because the bad relationship creates a context in which getting out of it becomes what is wanted. Agency is an escape, but the concept of even what an escape is, is contextual. "Escape" is enabled by "imprisonment" because it sits in contrast. You have to know one to know the other. There is no "happy" without "sad."
