triple quotes-why does it return \n inside the output? when it wasnt typed out in the string?

on the triple quotes part, he types - """She said, "I can't... ... ...even." ...""" and it prints 'She said, "I can\'t ...\n\neven."\n' Then you need to call it with the print function for it to correct itself. I dont understan why it prints that way in the first place and why you wouldnt call to print function in when writing that string anyway? I hope im not being really stupid and missed something obvious Thank you
