I am doing an essay on the novel, The Stone Angel, and my assigned topic was the theme of change. I’m explaining how Hagar struggles to adapt to change by resisting it and her resistance is mainly caused by her fear. But, I can’t seem to find enough facts (quotes) to help back me up, and i need more ideas. I appreciate any help you can give me.

The novel The Stone Angel portrays an image of a ninety-year-old woman, Hagar Currie, who confronts her past of personal failures in an attempt for rejuvenation before death. Hagar has lead a life dominated by authority and memories of whom she is expected to be. As she goes through life she continually tries to escape from her fears and gain acceptance. Through events and journeys, Hagar is able to release herself from the restrictions that have prevented her from leading a satisfactory life. Thus, to reconcile with herself and her fate, Hagar must flee from three domestic confinements: her father, her husband and her eldest son.
Here are some additional ideas:
