In "The Color of Water," Ruth believes her claustrophobia developed during her childhood, particularly influenced by her strict and oppressive upbringing in a Jewish household. She felt trapped by her family's expectations and the confines of her environment. This sense of entrapment contributed to her anxiety and fear of confined spaces later in life. Ruth's experiences highlight the emotional weight of her past and its impact on her mental health.
