His brother who had just died was the narrator's last care on this earth. He actually considered the dungeon as "a second home" (380). He got used to being chained up and isolated. All of the time that he spent locked up had made him a new man. The narrator had "learned to love despair" (374).

They were chained "to a column stone" (48) which prevented them from moving "a single pace" (50). Gradually, he "withered on the stalk away" (175).
