The most important situation in the life of the convict was the bad phase of his life. It was a bad year. He was out of job and had no money. His wife was ill and dying. He had to steal to buy food for her and was arrested. He was sentenced to imprisonment for ten years. It was the turning point in his life.
The convict was badly treated in the jail. He was chained up like a wild animal. He was lashed like a hound. He was fed on filth and was covered with vermin. He had to remain in such a harsh condition for ten years. Finally, he managed to escape. But alas! he was not a man but just like a wild beast. The ill-treatment of the jail employees proved a turning point in the convict’s life.
His meeting with the Bishop and the hospitality he received at his (Bishop’s) cottage, softened him a little but still he stole his candlesticks.
The Bishop saved the convict by telling the police that the silver candlesticks were given to the convict by him as a gift. It was the point which transformed him and he became a “man” again. Finally, he was blessed by the Bishop.

If we want to change
any bad human being into a good human, it is possible only through love and
understanding. The Bishop treated the convict with respect, care and
understanding. He knew he had been someone who had suffered a lot in his past;
his suffering had turned him into a callous human being. The Bishop's
understanding turned out to be quite true.
The real transformation occurred when the Bishop saved him again from being
imprisoned by Gendarmes. He told them he had gifted his candlesticks to him.
The truth was, the convict had stolen them and sneaked out of the Bishop's
house in the middle of night.
