Sunday night, I watched The Nun's Story. The movie has stuck with me for several days. It's the story of a talented, strong woman who enters an order of cloistered nuns and who, in the end, is unable to remain. I was transfixed by the final scene, where Audrey Hepburn sets aside her habit, veil, crucifix and wedding ring, dons some simple clothing suited for the secular world, and walks out through a door, down an alley, and walks off the screen. She strove for years reform herself into the nun she was expected to be. In the end, she examined her heart, determined that she was not, and never would be, a true nun, and she left.
