snapping point - a language question?
Hi,
What does "snapping point" here?
"In the clockworks of Amy's heart, the key of terror wound the mainspring past the snapping point, and the scream that came from her was silent, silent."
Is it something like the point on which the clock has stopped? Or is it a metaphor implying a breaking point of a person?
It IS a metaphor for a breaking point of a person.
