In "Cat's Eye" by Margaret Atwood, the concept of potential is explored through the lens of time and opportunity. The idea that potential has a "shelf life" suggests that the chances we have to fulfill our potential are not limitless. Over time, opportunities may fade, and the energy or drive to pursue them can diminish, making it crucial to seize the moment while we can. This theme resonates with the challenges faced by the protagonist, who navigates her past and the dynamics of societal expectations. It raises important questions about how we evaluate our lives and the importance of recognizing and utilizing our potential before it's too late.
