his aunt, for “having preserved my life” when he was an infant


his nurse, who “loved me tenderly” but “did not obey me”


his readers, who “listen to my confessions”

Respuesta :

his father, for having taught him "an extreme facility in reading and comprehension"

Answer: his aunt, for "having preserved my life" when he was an infant

Explanation: With a touch of irony, Rousseau in his "Confessions" forgives his aunt, for "having preserved my life" when he was an infant. Rousseau was taken care of by one of his father's sister. A young and virtuous girl, who cared lovingly for him. With irony he forgives her for having preserved his life, and he only laments that he cannot care for her the way she did for him
