‘It was not until many years later that I realized he wanted me to hear every word he said’ this is a line from the novel ‘To Kill a Mockingbird.’ The statement was said by Scout who is a daughter of Atticus.
Atticus was a lawyer and he was defending Tom Robinson’s case. Because of this, Scout and Jem will be facing difficulty in school. And that was the time when Atticus told Jem that ‘When a child asks you something, answer him. But don't make a production of it’, by this he meant don’t complicate things or elaborate them.
Atticus knew that Scout was listening to their conversation, so this was his way to notify and alert scout about the upcoming months to come. And that was when scout knew that Atticus wanted her to hear his every word. From this we also come to known the kind of father Atticus was. He always taught his children a moral sense of what's right and what's wrong.
The statement which best reinforces the theme of freedom from confinement is the one that provides a definition of freedom from a social perspective. As human beings, we should not allow other human beings restrict us. As a result, freedom has to do with letting everyone live independently.
The pardoner is the last pilgrim to be portrayed in the prologue. His estate belongs to the court of Rome. This gentle pardoner is thought to be worthy of respect; "He had a scholarly look" and "He was an honest person." Nevertheless, his pretension not to care for riches and his being "an unethical man" oppose the positive idea created. The inference that can be made from the excerpt is that he was an unethical man.
