He can no longer choose the place he likes, but he is placed in a stone cage, and locked up like a thing.

He can no longer choose freely, like all people, between life and death, but he will surely and inevitably be put to death.

The incarnation of will-power, life and strength an instant before, he has now become a wretched image of the most pitiful weakness in the world.

He has been transformed into an animal waiting to be slaughtered, a deaf-mute object which may be taken from place to place, burnt and broken.

It matters not what he might say, nobody would listen to his words, and if he endeavored to shout, they would stop his mouth with a rag.
