Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered satisfactorily.

However, in narratives where the character was condemned to death after undergoing psychological and physical torture, we can see the hope in these characters, because they know that death will end the suffering they undergo and take them to a better level. Often these characters are martyrs who hope that their deaths will give strength to those who struggle to continue fighting.
