Die Frau in den Dünen

The vast, shifting sands create such a claustrophobic yet open atmosphere. I wonder if the author drew from specific landscapes or personal experiences.

His gradual surrender to the environment and circumstances made me reflect on how much control we really have over our lives. Was that the point?

Her role and the way she is treated seem to mirror themes of conformity and sacrifice. I'd love to hear other interpretations about her significance.
