Hmm, this is hard to mull over!

I don't think the Oliphaunt believes that he is escaping or becoming free. (This is from what little I can see of the quotes.) Animals do not have self-pity, or very much thought for that matter. I know this because my LIFE is animals. No matter how bad their captors are, the animal will still react for it's owner, against whatever threat is in the way. The Oliphaunt sounds truly outraged against the threat, and seeks to destroy it first, before any thought of freedom. Dogs that are abused and then escape, often after a few days run back to their old abusive home.

If that made no sense, I'll try to come back and rewrite my thoughts, but I really have to go right now.
