Question 4:How did Mandela’s understanding of freedom change with age and experience?

Answer:
As a
boy, Mandela did not have a hunger for
freedom because he thought that he was born free. He believed that as
long as he obeyed his father and abided by the customs of his tribe,
he was free in every possible manner. He had certain needs as a
teenager and certain needs as a young man. Gradually, he realized
that he was selfish during his boyhood. He slowly understands that it
is not just his freedom that is being curtailed, but the freedom of
all blacks. It is after attaining this understanding that he develops
a hunger for the freedom of his people.
