Question

Why, in your opinion, did the man set the doves free?

Answer 1

In my opinion the man set the doves free because he knew that the animals and birds did not belong in cages. Instead they were a part of nature and were supposed to be kept free. When he told Mr. Purcell that he was given five dollars and a cheap suit, he probably meant that he too was locked up. Thus he understood the value of his freedom and related to the animals in the cages.
