She had come to him to escape her mother's world, a world where all bodies were equal. She had come to him to make her body unique, irreplaceble. But he, too had drawn an equal sign between her and the rest of them: he kissed them all alike, stroked them all alike, made no, absolutely no distiction between Tereza's body and the other bodies. He sent her back to the world she tried to escape, sent to march naked with the other naked women
In the narrative, the protagonist seeks refuge from her mother's perspective, a place where all bodies hold the same value. She desires to cultivate her own identity and uniqueness through her relationship, but finds herself confronted with an equal treatment by her partner. Rather than distinguishing her as special, he renders her just another body among many, seemingly erasing her individuality.
This experience forces her to confront the very world she hoped to flee, highlighting a poignant conflict between her longing for uniqueness and the reality of being perceived as just one among many. Instead of liberation, she faces a return to a collective existence, starkly juxtaposed to her aspirations for personal distinction.
