Question

What does Makar mean when he says, "When they flogged me with the knot it was not

so hard to bear as it is to see you now... yet you had pity on me, and did not tell. For
Christ's sake forgive me, wretch that I am!" (RL.2.4)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

It means that receiving pity from someone is harder to stand than getting flogged. Makar feels bad that he killed someone and and blamed it on someone else. He feels even worse now because the person he framed did not tell on him.
