Chapter sixty-two opens with a soliloquy by the young narrator. He tells the audience that he has come to see them as "a person" and not a "doll." He tells them that he ran away from the house because he was too close to them. He asks them to decide whether to keep him in their home or not. The narrator says that he hasn't told the audience where he came from, but he wants them to know that he was raised in a "confinement" and that he burned the place down so that he wouldn't have to live there anymore. He says that this is where he was "raised in confinement" for "eigh teen years" and spent his days as nothing except his father's "father" and left. He adds that he thinks it's time for him to leave. The audience asks if he's reading the play's script closely, and the narrator says he does. The director might rant at him, he says, but that's just the way he is. He also says that the audience should keep in mind that he and the director are "total strangers," and that they don't know each other very well.
