Esther believes that she needs to become involved in a relationship, as a result of societal pressure. Everyone seems to believe that Esther should be in a relationship because it is the thing to do. Esther, however, eventually comes to the point where she is ready to choose her own companion, rather than settle for someone who is chosen and pushed upon her.
