The following sentence reflects Robert's dream of leaving the farm: "What I want to do now is keep on moving so that I won’t take root in any one place."
The excerpt of the play presents the two characters of Andrew and Robert as contrasting figures, with Andrew being more of a sedentary manual worker and Robert being attracted to letters and travels:
- "You should have gone back to college ... You're fitted for that sort of thing--just as I ain't"
- "you see me reading books all the time"
Unlike Andrew who probably intends to stay on the farm with the father, the text tells us that Robert is leaving the next day for a very long time:
- "you’re leaving ... tomorrow"
- "you'll be gone three years"
The sentence "What I want to do now is keep on moving so that I won’t take root in any one place" is Robert's explanation of what he wants to do (leave the farm) and why (because he doesn't want to settle down in one place).
