Tokchae is a prisoner because he refuses to abandon his home and the values associated with it, even under oppressive circumstances. He believes that leaving would mean betraying his family's legacy and the sacrifices they made. Tokchae expresses a strong sense of loyalty to his community and a desire to uphold his family's honor, which he feels would be compromised by fleeing. His commitment to these principles ultimately leads him to accept his fate rather than seek safety elsewhere.
