Reached for: The Plains
“Don't put a fence around me. I'll go through it, and I won't care what it cost you.”
Any arrangement implying obligation is read as a cage and broken out of, with the damage to other people filed under their error for building the fence. The stance was formed under an authoritarian roof where one parent quietly cheered the defiance, so freedom got defined as the opposite of somebody's rule rather than as a thing with its own shape. What it asks for is one commitment kept while nobody is enforcing it.
Esau, man of the open country, who could not be kept in the tents and traded what was owed to him for what he wanted that hour. The form implies a task of valuing something that requires staying still.
