What is false Imprisonment?

For school reading i was given the theme of false liberation. Im suppose to look into my book and find examples of false liberation, but im not sure what that is.What is false Imprisonment?
I think you are really asking about ';false liberation';. This seems to be and idiom applied to a situation where somebody is being liberated from social restraints, as in the women's movement, but in the process is becoming a new tormenter. So a woman who is trying to get equality reverses roles and seeks domination over a man instead of mere equality. So instead of pure ';liberation';, we get role reversal.





As an example, in the French Revolution, the monarchy was overthrown, only to be replaced by the ';Terror'; and then Napoleon who was responsible for far more death and oppression than the French monarchy previous.





In human behaviour, sometimes the reaction is much stronger than the action. This is an interesting topic.
