What is Fig Tree Analogy in The Bell Jar about?

Emily sees her life branching out before her like a green fig tree filled with possibilities. Each fig represents a different possible future - being a wife and mother, a famous poet, a professor, or having various lovers from different backgrounds. However, she is unable to choose just one future and instead wants all of them. As she sits unable to decide, all the figs begin to wrinkle and rot while she starves, unable to commit to a single path.
