In the short story "The Bet", by Anton Chekhov, at the beginning of his imprisonment, the lawyer declines both wine and tobacco. Wine, he wrote, excites the desires and desires are the worst enemies of a prisoner. And, because nothing could be more dreary than drinking a glass of good wine and seeing no one. And tobacco because it could spoil the air of his room.

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass- How does Frederick Douglass dismantle the master’s house using the master’s tools?
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

By learning how to read and write

Explanation:

One way that Frederick Douglass dismantles his master’s house was through learning how to read and write. Even though this is an expression and he did not physically dismantle his master’s house, Frederick Douglass “dismantled” it because since he knew how to read and write, he had new ideas and was more aware of what was happening around the world. He found out what he can actually do with that new ability and he tried to break free from his master’s control and captivity. He used learning to read and write to his advantage. He read so many books and learned many new things, and he even shared it to his fellow slaves that could not read or write so they could be aware of what Fredrick Douglass learned and that brought up new ideas. Since they had new ideas that have been learned from learning how to read and write, they started in a way rebelling more and questioning why they were like that while in other parts people were not like this. In the future that caused a couple fights and rebellion and they ended up “dismantling the master’s house” because they ended up getting their freedom and they were not in captivity anymore.
