How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #1
I wander thro' each charter'd street,
Near where the charter'd Thames does flow, (1-2)
We get a double dose of confinement here. The streets and the Thames? The poem announces its obsession with the theme early on, and implies that somebody (he doesn't say who) is trying to tame or confine nature itself—here represented by the Thames.
Quote #2
And mark in every face I meet
Marks of weakness, marks of woe. (3-4)
While we don't have any specific descriptions of confinement here, the language is super-restricted. The word "mark" occurs three times. The repetition of "mark" is also similar to the repetition of "charter'd" in the first two lines.
Quote #3
In every voice, in every ban,
The mind-forg'd manacles I hear. (7-8)
Manacles=confinement. There's no question about that. None. What. So. Ever. The phrase "mind-forg'd" makes it seem like confinement is totally a mental thing that's got nothing to do with literal chains and charters. Our own minds are able to enslave us. Spooky.
