In "Cat's Eye," Margaret Atwood presents a thought-provoking perspective on the nature of time, suggesting that it is not a linear progression but rather a dimension akin to spatial dimensions. This conceptualization implies that time can be manipulated, much like physical space. If one could bend the fabric of space, it follows that time could also be bent, challenging our traditional understanding of temporal progression.

Atwood further explores the implications of this theory by proposing that with sufficient knowledge and the ability to exceed the speed of light, one could theoretically journey into the past or exist simultaneously in multiple moments. This idea invites readers to rethink the constraints of time and consider the possibilities of experiencing life beyond a singular linear narrative.
