Silvius Brabo represents those who stand up against oppression, i.e. he cuts the hand off the giant who is forcing people to pay if they want to cross the river Schledt, otherwise the giant would cut their hand off.
The idea is that this story is meant to encourage us to stand up against oppression, like Silvius Brabo did- ''So if Silvius Brabo collects the hands of giants, will you join him?''- the giants, in this instance, representing huge corporations and governments that are abusive of their power.
