The Abandonment portrays a young woman fleeing an arranged marriage with the man she does not love, and ultimately jumps into the nearby ocean to avoid having to lead such a dull life with a man whom she does not feel truly passionate about. She is supposedly swimming towards a better life, which would be a life free from expectation and social restraint–namely an undesirable suitor.
