a quote from the giver that makes sense for How and why is Jonas struggling with the memories that the Giver has given him.

"Overwhelmed by pain, he lay there in the fearsome stench for hours, listened to the men and animals die, and learned what warfare meant. Finally, when he knew that he could bear it no longer and would welcome death himself, he opened his eyes and was once again on the bed. The Giver looked away, as if he could not bear to see what he had done to Jonas. “Forgive me,” he said."

Explanation:

"The Giver" is a book written by Lois Lowry, where we are introduced to a futuristic society where the whole society is freed from crimes, sadness, memories and any other element that can cause bad feelings. All the memories of all citizens are accumulated in a single person, who is chosen from time to time and trained to be able to bear this burden.

The person who keeps the memories of the society is called The Giver and Jonas is the new one.

However, receiving memories can be very painful, mainly because many memories are terrible and traumatic, which causes Jonas a lot of pain and makes him struggle not to receive them. An example of this can be seen in the quote above, where Jonas receives an extremely painful memory from the old Giver, causing him to fight against it.
