About This Quote

This quote is about being haunted by the experience of being in a situation where your freedom depends on the death of an innocent. Many people in this world are held captive by fear. One of the most common forms of fear is that which comes from knowing that there are people out there who will do anything to take away our freedom. And, when these people are released from prison, they are often angry at us for giving them the opportunity to do what they did to us. Red makes it clear he understands this feeling, because he was one of those people who were angry at himself for not being able to protect his family.
