There is this somewhat "beastial" aspect of humanity. For an example even real humans are sometimes like beasts. Following the principal of animals and nature. The instincts of reproduction, the instincts of survival. All natural. Same with Rei. Just concentrated in the form that is of a human teen. Her place in Evangelion dictated what She was. Her freedom? She was created/born for Third Impact. In that case, yes, Her prison was Her destiny and fate and Her place in The World. The uncertainty of one's meaning observed through the eyes of a human. And then those scales fell from Her eyes. The realization was the key to The End.
