In other words, peoples are not always subjectsconstantly confronting history as some academics would wish, but the capacity uponwhich they act to become subjects is always part of their condition. This subjectivecapacity ensures confusion because it makes human beings doubly historical or, moreproperly, fully historical. It engages them simultaneously in the sociohistorical processand in narrative constructions about that process.
I agree with this idea because it shows that people aren't just passively living through history instead they are also making their own stories about it. It makes sense that people can be shaped by history and at the same time try to make sense of it through their own perspective. But this can cause confusion because it’s hard to separate what’s really happening in history from the way we tell our own personal stories about it.
