(b) Persome is not as generous as her brother. She feels the people pretend to be sick in order to exploit her brother’s (Bishop’s) magnanimity. People want the Bishop to be near them and help them financially.
(c) Jeanette was the convict’s wife. She fell ill. As the convict had no work and no money; he could not treat or even feed her. She died of starvation. The convict had almost forgotten her due to his loss of faith in all human relationships.
(d) The convict means to say that he is an experienced person. He knows how people make excuses and trap others. He cannot be taken in easily. He thinks the Bishop will play a trick on him on the excuse of going out to bring the keys of the cupboard to give him food.
(e) The convict was sent to prison as he stole food. He had no work or no money at that time. He was sent to jail for ten years. He was often mercilessly beaten in the jail. He fed on rubbish. He slept on boards. He suffered from vermin on his body. The harsh punishment turned him into a wild beast.
(f) The punishment given to the convict for a minor crime was too much and was unjustified. He did not commit a murder or indulge in any other major crime. His circumstances forced him to steal. He should have been given a light punishment in stead of ten years in a “hell”.
The convict is eager to reach Paris and get lost in the crowd. He wants top escape from the police which would be looking for him everywhere as he has not yet completed his sentence.
(g) The convict had lost all faith in goodness. The Bishop’s love, kindness and generosity bring about a remarkable change in him. He feels as if he were a man once again. He regains his faith in God. So he asks the Bishop to bless him.
