(E) It is as if she has taken the bait on his hook and entered a seemingly loving relationship only to discover too late her inability to break free from the bond. (D) This rather startling shift of imagery suggests the speaker's feeling of entrapment and helplessness. (S) The perfectly suited hook and eye become his 'fish hook' in her 'open eye' (3-4). (E) However, a far more unpleasant side to their relationship is revealed in the following final stanza. (D) This simile suggests their relationship is secure, just as a hook and eye holds clothing securely in place it is as if they were made for each other, specifically designed to work together, to 'fit'. (E) She compares this fit to that of a 'hook into an eye' (2). The speaker proclaims her lover a perfect 'fit' in the opening line and title, (D) suggesting a relationship that is both emotionally and sexually satisfying (1). (I) The poem begins on a positive note (S with a little E). Margaret Atwood's 'You Fit Into Me' portrays the helplessness and pain of feeling trapped in an unhealthy romantic relationship.
