Brief Explanations
These are comprehension questions based on Bessie Head's The Prisoner Who Wore Glasses. Answers are derived directly from key details and character/plot elements of the story:
- The warder Hannetjie is introduced as harsh, unyielding, and cruel at the story's start.
- Brille and the men in Span One are imprisoned for political activism against the apartheid state.
- "Brille" is Afrikaans for "glasses", which matches his defining feature.
- Brille first tells Hannetjie he won't call him "Baas" (master) because he is 20 years older and refuses to address a younger man by that title.
- Brille's family is described as large, with many children, and chaotic in his memories.
- When interrupted, Brille was in the middle of telling his children to cooperate to make life easier, a lesson shaped by his prison experience.
