"Why you kill me? I never did you anything. Not kill me! I beg not to be locked up. Never let me out of my prison - not kill me! You kill me before I understand what life is. You must tell me why you locked me up!"

Kaspar Hauser's quote is a plea for understanding and mercy. He is asking why he is being eliminated, as he has actually done nothing to deserve it. He asks not to be locked up, as he has not yet had the chance to comprehend what life is. He is desperate to understand why he is being locked up, as he has not been given the opportunity to experience life. His plea is a desperate attempt to understand why he is being treated so roughly, and why he is being rejected the chance to experience life. His words are a powerful suggestion of the injustice of sending to prison someone without giving them the chance to understand what life is. His plea is a heartbreaking tip of the powerlessness of those who are rejected the opportunity to experience life.
