Life of Pi
Restriction in Life of Pi can be liberating because for Pi, being restricted is not such a bad thing. It allows him to imagine things beyond his upbringing, and broadens his mind and way of thinking beyond his age. For example, when Pi becomes a part of three different religions, it's not because someone had told him to do that or that that was a good thing to do, yet he still finds each one facinating and wants to become a part of them because that's his way of thinking. For Pi restriction is not only liberating, its intriguing for his mind.

Here's a question: does Pi find the religions restricting? He's not a religious person by the end of the novel; does that have something to do with the three that he's initially part of?
