Introduction

In this paper, I will discuss the character from my favorite movie. Braveheart was created in 1995 and is about a commoner that did not want to be ruled and yearned for freedom. However, William Wallace is a real hero that brought ideas of freedom to Scotland (Murison, 2003).

Revealing his Nature

The best dialogue from this character that represents what he is like comes from the end of the movie. After several years of battling for freedom, William Wallace finally gets captured by the English. As they are about to end his life by torturing him, he yells out "freedom." He was asked to beg for mercy to escape the torture, but instead yells this motivational yelp (Awesomefilms, n.d.).
