...Sula was wrong. Hell ain't things lasting forever. Hell is change. Not only did men leave and children grow up and die, but even the misery didn't last. One day she wouldn't even have that. This very grief that had twisted her into a curve on the floor and flayed her would be gone. She would lose that too.Why, even in hate here I am thinking of what Sula said.
The quote reflects Sula's realization that hell is not about enduring pain but rather about the inevitability of change. It reveals her understanding that all experiences, even grief and suffering, are temporary. Despite feeling trapped in her misery, she acknowledges that one day, it will dissipate just like everything else in life. This epiphany highlights the transient nature of life, including emotions and relationships.
Moreover, the passage emphasizes the complexity of human emotions. Even in moments of deep sorrow and hate, there remains an awareness of thoughts and connections to others, such as Sula’s influence. It suggests that while we may grapple with our pain and struggles, these feelings will ultimately evolve or fade away, continually reshaping our existence and perceptions.
