Write a thesis statement responding to the following prompt (3 minutes):

This emotional suppression often has significant implications for the character and those around them. Such implications can change a character's relationships, identity, and overall well-being
In a well-written thesis statement, analyze how the impact of lack of confronting one's emotions contributes to the interpretation of the work as whole. Do NOT merely summarize the plot
