Tory's and Swaying

“I thought: Good God, who is this awful little Tory Tommy’s inflicted on me?” pg 350.

Tory – In Britain, Tory is a term that means a member of the Conservative party or stands for the party in general, after 1832. Not a slur, self-inflicted.

I chose this image because to me, it represents the feeling of panic we were talking about in class yesterday (the sway quotes). At that point, Ella is panicking, focusing on herself and her feeling of "cracking up." She is surrounded by people, but that offers no relief. This picture shows dizziness, blurriness, the feeling that I believe Lessing was trying to convey when she used "sway" as a descriptor.
