We pity Androcles during the first three paragraphs because he was exhausted from running away from slavery only to encounter a roaring lion in the cave.
<h3>Androcles and the Lion</h3>
George Bernard Shaw's <em>Androcles and the Lion</em> chronicles the story of Androcles as he comes to the aid of a lion in pain thereby, befriending the lion for life. In gratitude for the act of kindness shown to the lion, the lion continues to honor the friendship between it and Androcles. This surprising act of friendship earns both Androcles and the lion freedom from the slave master-king.
Thus, Androcles attracts our pity during the first three paragraphs because a person running away from a frying pan should not enter into the fire.
