Great Expectations - Quote Analysis Final Project?

• I am having extraordinary difficulty analyzing this quote from Great Expectations! I realize this is extremely long, and a silly thing to ask, but if you have ANY info, even unrelated to the questions, please help!!!!Chapter 54: He had his boat-cloak on him, and looked, as I have said, a natural part of the scene. It was remarkable (but perhaps the wretched life he had led accounted for it) that he was the least anxious of any of us. He was not indifferent, for he told me that he hoped to live to see his gentleman one of the best of gentlemen in a foreign country; he was not disposed to be passive or resigned, as I understood it; but he had no notion of meeting danger half way. When it came upon him, he confronted it, but it must come before he troubled himself. “If you knowed, dear boy,” he said to me, “what it is to sit here alonger my dear boy and have my smoke, arter having been day by day betwixt four walls, you'd envy me. But you don't know what it is.” “I think I know the delights of freedom,” I answered. “Ah,” said he, shaking his head gravely. “But you don't know it equal to me. You must have been under lock and key, dear boy, to know it equal to me—but I ain't a going to be low.” It occurred to me as inconsistent, that for any mastering idea, he should have endangered his freedom and even his life. But I reflected that perhaps freedom without danger was too much apart from all the habit of his existence to be to him what it would be to another man. I was not far out, since he said, after smoking a little: “You see, dear boy, when I was over yonder, t'other side the world, I was always a looking to this side; and it come flat to be there, for all I was a growing rich. Everybody knowed Magwitch, and Magwitch could come, and Magwitch could go, and nobody's head would be troubled about him. They ain't so easy concerning me here, dear boy—wouldn't be, leastwise, if they knowed where I was.” “If all goes well,” said I, “you will be perfectly free and safe again, within a few hours.” “Well,” he returned, drawing a long breath, “I hope so.” First Impressions: 1.
