    What’s the significance of the amputated leg?

    As a metaphor I get it, but it seems to be a reference that I’m not getting.

      Could be paying an arm and a leg. He already paid with his leg, doesn’t realize that the arms next. Also why he’s still optimistic. Doesn’t realize that the worst of it hasn’t even happened yet. (Also the artist might have just not known how to draw him chained up like the rest with just one arm)
