Frederick Douglas uses metaphors in this chapter such as “…and thereby run the hazard of closing the slightest avenue by which a brother slave might clear himself of the chains and fetters of slavery” to tell the reader that enslavement is not just a restriction of liberty of one’s body but also the restriction of one’s soul. The mind of a slave is not free. Douglas also lets the reader know that even though himself is free from slavery physically, his mind and spirit is not because society did not create conditions so he can feel like a completely free man.

Frederick also mentions “I have never approved of the very public manner in which some of our western friends have conducted what they call underground railroad…” By underground railroad he that meant the secret and illegal routes and houses that helped slaves to escape to free cities.

He compares some men that were “money kidnappers” - men who gained money to bring back slaves who fled to nonslave states as - “ferocious beasts of the forest like in wait for their prey”
