He begins to think in a new situation.He looks upon his freedom.He is free to act and he acts as a master.He is free to do anything he likes.An air of freedom lurks his everywhere.His actions,which flourish from his inner consciousness is apart of human psychology.This psychological phase speaks of parental control imposed upon him.He feels delighted in freedom,when his parents are away from him.
His suppressed personality emerges out gradually.It comes layer by layer.Now he wants liberty.He is a boy with a passion to know what life is.He wants to evolve an intimacy with the world outside his family.He feels excited with this world.He feels thwarted against something.He does not find things easy.Mrs. Baines is nasty and unpleasant;and tries to captivate the child.Here begins the conflict,as the child wants freedom from all sorts of control over him.The clash becomes inevitable till the death of Mrs. Baines.
Mrs.Baines had an intimacy with Philip.Mr.Baines had a niece for whom he had love in his heart.But he had no courage to declare his love.He entrusted Philip secretly.Mrs. Baines knew that Philip entered into his room.Philip ,too,could not keep his secret.Philip had already betrayed Mrs. Baines' secret .Philip finds himself in a desperate situation.How to deal with situations become a problem before him.
