Jona
Jona, as a young slave doesn't know what freedom means; he lacks an understanding and sense of it. He's forced to have this reflection of the concept when introduced to the idea of "touching freedom"— for the concept to be so personally real that it's palpable. While he initially hates the thought of this perspective, he takes a mental shift throughout the book, reflecting deeply on himself and other characters. Freedom is defined by each man, but the similitude is that every man must learn to touch it for themselves. Slavery only makes Jona a stranger to freedom, but his experiences and emotions of any other person besides their background such as friendship, betrayal, and first love is all the same. It's a heartbreaking story, but hopeful at last.
