Question

what do we learn about the plight of the prisoner of the behavior of the croud in the poem the patriot stanza 5​

Answer 1

Answer:

The patriot is tied, convicted and is being led to the scaffold. He is fated to be hanged. This is the reward he is getting from the people for his so-called misdeeds. A long rope has been used to tie up his hands to his back. The rope is so tightly tied that it cuts both his hands. Some callous and cruel people have thrown stones on him because of which his forehead bleeds.

There is no one on the house roofs now. Only some crippled persons at the window set are watching him. People have gone to the shambles’ gate or are standing very close to the scaffold to have the best view of his execution.
