All this waiting, while normal folk go about whatever business normal folk have to do in a provincial dust bowl like this. It makes one terribly impatient. He had never been known as a patient person, but worse than before, here nothing could help him, apart from rattling the bars, pretending to be the madman everyone thought him to be.

Of course it isn't simply an act, but then again, every good performance has a grain of truth in it. Once again he rattles his bars, trying to pass the time as best as he can. The future has something to look forward to. Whether it is escape, execution or some new form of torture, the future does hold something for him.

The present does not. The sooner they leave this dung hole, the better. He wants to know what the future holds. In the meantime he rattles his bars, causing less annoyance to his guards than he thinks he does.
