Please remember these things:
1. This is a homework help website; please put your subject (math, science, English, or ??) in the subject line to make it faster for each teacher to find those questions in his/her areas. An even better subject heading would be more specific – such as FACTORING, SHAKESPEARE, PRONOUNS, CIVIL WAR.
2. Please include in your post the answer or response you have come up with so far. Teachers here will not do your homework for you, but we are happy to point you in the right direction and give you feedback on your own thinking.
3. The teachers here are all volunteers. Not everyone is online all the time. Please post your questions with plenty of time for answers; if you ask last-minute questions, you might be disappointed.

Your interpretation makes more sense than anything I could guess! It doesn't make much sense to me. Do you know the author or speaker of this statement? What context it was written or spoken? Sometimes knowing those things helps to understand.

I would think of all the things that "life" is... both good and bad, beautiful and ugly. Then I would look at the character and see how he fit that type of statement.
It sounds like a person in solitary confinement for life.
The statement "he was little or nothing but life" could have different interpretations depending on the context in which it is used.
Based on the given information, it seems that the person in question is primarily defined by their life. This could mean that the person's existence is solely centered around the experiences, events, and emotions they have gone through. In other words, their identity is closely tied to their life and the things they have lived through.
To gain a deeper understanding of the meaning, it would be helpful to consider the author or speaker's intentions, the broader context of the statement, and any other information available. This can provide further insights into the specific interpretation and implications of the statement.
