N "The Light of Gandhi's Lamp," Hilary Kromberg Inglis writes about how she feels before meeting her sister's jailer:

And here I was, wanting to reach out, to take his hands in mine, to make him gentle, to settle the demons he thought he saw in my sister’s face. I wanted to tame him—to save my sister’s life. Could I do that, only nineteen years old, a white girl “on the other side”—in his eyes, a traitor, a communist, with viciously dishonorable intentions of overthrowing the white apartheid government?

What does this passage suggest about Inglis's view of her situation?
