Alienation: The story shows a deep sense of distance between human beings and nature. The wife feels suffocated in the concrete life of the city. Though surrounded by people, she is completely alone. Even her husband fails to understand her. This loneliness pushes her further away emotionally. The mechanical rhythm of urban life separates her from her true self. Gradually, her body and mind become quietly detached. In the end, she leaves the human world and merges into the natural one.

Transformation: The wife’s body slowly transforms into a tree. This change is not just physical; it symbolizes spiritual liberation. Tired of human pain, she takes on the form of nature to find peace. As a tree, she becomes one with the earth, the wind, and the sun. This transformation frees her from suffering. The shift from human to plant opens the path toward a new form of existence.

Silence: Throughout the story, speech fades away. The wife stops talking, and the husband can only watch without understanding her. This silence reflects the emotional distance between them. Instead of words, the story uses the body, color, and smell as silent expressions of feeling. In the end, though her body becomes a tree, her quiet presence lingers in the wind, in the soil, in life itself.

Freedom: All her life, the wife has been trapped by her home, her husband, and society. Everything has confined her. She longed to escape and live freely, but as a human, that was impossible. By transforming into a tree, she finally becomes free. No rule, bond, or relationship can restrain her now. She lives as part of nature, sustained by air and sunlight.

Rebirth: The story’s ending is not death but the beginning of new life. Through her transformation into a tree, the wife continues to live in another form. From her body, fruits are born, seeds that hold the promise of future growth. This represents a kind of rebirth, a continuation of life beyond human form. Death becomes part of an endless natural cycle, showing that nothing truly ends; nature is always reborn.
