Exegesis

The adverbial phrase hópou {ὅπου | hópou} emphasizes unrestrained movement.

The juxtaposition of seautón {σεαυτόν | seautón} and állos {ἄλλος | állos} underscores the transition from autonomy to subjection, and the final hópou ou théleis {ὅπου οὐ θέλεις | hópou ou théleis} highlights unwilling displacement.
