Freedom

"'Let him go free? Let him profit by the means I found out? Let him make a tool of me afresh and again'" (Dickens, 35).

This is yet another hidden social opinion expressed by Dickens. One major theme of this book is the restraints of social classes. This speech made the prisoner take the form of the lower class, and 'him' represents the upper class which doesn't think about the consequences to others. Those who have the money and status of the upper class of England have the freedom to do whatever they please, which is what many people of the lower long for.
