Why didn't Arya Free herself?
If its possible to use magic without the ancient language and even when drugged, why didn't Arya free herself when she was in prison? Is it because she isn't that good at magic or could there be another reason.

When drugged, a person couldn't focus and barely think of anything, including magic. If arya able to do magic, she didn't need to conduct it silently, because she hadn't lost her voice. And to remember also, she's already weak from the tortures, there no strength left to do magic (since magic consumes power). She was even at a unconcious state in order to recover her health. No way she can do magic.

I have a theory that she was in love with one of her compainions and thats why
1- she doesn't liek eragon
2- why she's always depressed
3- everyone says that she has suffered a lot
and now 4- she was feeling guilty for his death and didn't want 2 live all that much...well at first anyway

What about the poison? Didn't she say she was given a poison and its antidote each day, so even is she had a chance to escape, she would have been to weak, or she knew she would die within a couple days of escaping, while Durza would have kept her alive until she spoke Ellesmera's location.

she would have died in like, a day if she hadn't been in that state of like a coma, it slowed it down. it was a hibernation pretty much. bear dosen'ts use its food up quick cause its heart slower and all. same with her.

When Orimis Was talking about how you can use thoughts without speaking to activate magic. He said it was also extreamly dangerous and difficult to control it because your thoughts can change in an instant causing it to do something not so good. Also her mind was so hazzy that she couldn't think much anyways. And like you have said she was poisened and too weak to really get away on her own.

In the first book after she tested Eragon in swordsmanship, she explains to him exactly why she could not free herself.

Eragon, Pp 462 reads as follows:
"Then know this; at the moment you first beheld it, I was captured by Durza." Her voice filled with bitterness and grief. "It was he who led the Urgals that ambushed and slew my companions, Faolin and Glenwing. Somehow he knew where to wait for us—we had no warning. I was drugged and transported to Gil'ead. There Durza was charged by Galbatorix to learn where I had sent the egg and all I knew of Ellesméra."
She stared ahead icily, jaw clenched. "He tried for months without success. His methods were...harsh. When tortured failed, he ordered his soldiers to use me as they would. Fortunately, I still had the strength to nudge their minds and make them incapable. At last Galbatorix ordered that I was to be brought to Urû'baen. Dread filled me when I learned this, as I was weary in both mind and body and had no strength to resist him. If it not for you, I would have stood before Galbatorix in a week's time."
Wow, my hands hurt. Anyway there it is.

Yeah, too late. Seriously, don't post just for the points, you'll get warnings. Not to mention being completely off topic.

well, death. be proud. you setted the debate. lol. jk.
i agree. she was too weak.. and was poisoned..
the only time she would have stood a chance is after she was given the antidote.
but then she was weaponless, and being tortured, by the soldiers and durza.
but then eragon saves her. and i also think she had feelings for one of her companions, and isn't over him yet.
