Entretanto, na baixeza dessa alma havia ainda alguma altivez, o orgulho do crime; não suplicou, não disse uma palavra; sentindo o contato frio do ferro sobre a fronte, fechou os olhos e julgou-se morto.

The setting

Yet in the baseness of that soul there was still some haughtiness, the pride of crime; he did not beg, he did not say a word; feeling the cold touch of the iron on his brow, he closed his eyes and thought himself dead.
