The passage reflects the idea of belonging and the complexities of communication within a group. In Ethaka, the protagonist is part of the community, which creates a sense of familiarity and understanding. This shared connection implies that there is no need for formal announcements or declarations; everyone inherently knows each other's thoughts and feelings.
Furthermore, the absence of a direct prompt to speak highlights the unspoken bonds and mutual recognition among the members. The notion that no one needs to instruct him to express himself suggests a deep-seated trust and intimacy within the group, emphasizing the theme of inherent understanding in close relationships, as explored in Kundera's "Ignorance."
