Even if you managed to escape from one cage, weren't you just in another, larger one?
The quote from Haruki Murakami's "1Q84" reflects the idea that escaping from one difficult situation or environment often leads to entering a different, perhaps more complicated, set of circumstances. It suggests that freedom may be an illusion, where one form of captivity is replaced by another, albeit a larger or more complex one. This evokes the notion that true liberation is hard to attain, as we may find ourselves constantly navigating through various forms of confinement.
