Bondsman and Lords

In chapter 4, Hegal changes the subject from consciousness to self-consciousness. Though they are both similar, Hegal sees self-consciousness as the awareness of one's self, a subject, rather than the awareness of an object. Hegal explains this in a vague and confusing manner, but uses a bondsman and a lord as an example. This is what I interpreted from the reading. The bondsman, or servant, is dependent on the lord for a living. He does everything for the lord and without being his servant he wouldn't be anything. Therefore, since he can not see himself as a person in a living society, and as an object, he does not have self awareness, or in other words, self-consciousness. Since the lord knows that he is a subject and not an object, he is aware of himself and therefore has self-consciousness.
