It's always sad when a marriage decays, and I think you captured it pretty well. I especially found it interesting that the character whom this piece is based around seems to have already grieved and accepted their fate as a prisoner. It's a perspective I don't really see a whole lot.
I liked how you compared it to being locked up in a cell/cage, like in a town jail. Could the warden be an allegory for an abusive partner? I still have a lot of questions about this piece, despite having read it three times. The language is somewhat vague (to me) but the meaning is clear.
You should be really proud of this; it's clear you worked really hard on it, and I'm glad I got the chance to review it.
