Answer 2

Imprisonment

Step-by-step explanation:

In these lines, we can see that the concept of a house is being used as a symbol to represent imprisonment. We know this because the passage compares the house to a "dark confinement," and to be confined is to be imprisoned. Moreover, the speaker urges the reader to get out from it and experience the world, regardless of what the comforts of the house are.
