Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The questions move from fear of death to the prospect of exposure and punishment. Repeating 'Do you fear' gives them an insistent, threatening rhythm. The speaker invokes an imagined reckoning in which nothing remains hidden, making the possibility of judgment as frightening as death itself.
