Quote by Blaise Pascal
Art thou less a slave by being loved and favoured by thy master? Thou art indeed well off, slave. Thy master favours thee; he will soon beat thee.
Summary
This quote suggests that even if a slave is loved and favored by their master, they are still ultimately bound by their status as a slave. While it may temporarily provide a sense of wellbeing and happiness, the favor and appeasement can quickly be disregarded, and the slave can still be subject to mistreatment or abuse. The quote conveys the notion that being favored by the master does not diminish the fundamental inequality and vulnerability of the slave, reinforcing the precarious nature of their circumstances.
