He was a carefree young man who enjoyed life and all its pleasures. However, his life took a turn for the worse when he was falsely accused of a crime and sentenced to prison.The second part of the poem describes the protagonist’s life in prison. It is a dark and depressing place where the convicts are treated harshly and are forced to endure terrible living conditions. Despite this, the protagonist manages to find hope and solace in his fellow inmates and the small pleasures of life.The third part of the poem describes the protagonist’s release from prison and his attempts to rebuild his life. He faces many challenges, including finding work and dealing with the stigma of being a former convict.
