In Octavia Butler's "Kindred," Alice chooses to take her own life rather than escape because she feels trapped in a cycle of trauma and oppression. After being subjected to repeated sexual violence and the harsh realities of slavery, Alice sees death as a means of reclaiming her autonomy and escaping a life devoid of hope. Her decision reflects the unbearable weight of her experiences and the loss of agency in a brutal system, highlighting the profound despair faced by enslaved individuals. Ultimately, Alice's suicide serves as a tragic commentary on the inescapable horrors of slavery.
