"She set her white face to him, passive, like a helpless animal."
I read an analysis on theme and found an applicable word, paralysis. She passively refuses to seek adventure and break routine. Her life is stagnant. The theme, to me, seems to be best described by paralysis. She is paralyzed in advancing her life. Adventure and love escape her. I found it apt to compare her to a helpless animal, as the author did. Animals don't break routine or stray from their niches. This is the same with her. Her life is instinctual and unchanging.
