Only free men can negotiate; prisoners cannot enter into contracts. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Negotiation is linked to the freedom needed to make a meaningful agreement. The statement rejects the idea that captivity and genuine consent fit easily together. Its final sentence connects the speaker’s liberty with the listener’s, making freedom a shared condition rather than an isolated personal matter.
