In Braveheart William Wallace is the person many people would like to be: trustworthy, forgiving, honorable, and loyal but most importantly, he is willing to die for others and for his beliefs. Williams's family, including his Father, Brother, and Wife have been killed by English. He has been seeking freedom since he was little. When William embarks on this journey at first he does not want to fight excessively but as the days go by the circumstances make him fight more and more, an example of this is when his wife is killed by nobles. William embarks in this journey to avenge the deaths of his loved ones and to fight for his most important goal, freedom.
After his fathers, death, William is taken by his uncle. William's uncle teaches him combat skills but mainly "how to use his brain". Later, he takes him back to where he used to live. Then while he is at his homeland he finds a young lady and gets married but they have just passed the primo nocturno a law which states than any noble may have affairs with any bride. .
This is when William crosses the "threshold" while his wife is taken away into a noble's house. Here William gets outraged and kills both security guards and the noble. He mounts his wife in a horse and tells her to meet him at the river. When he arrives she is not there and he soon finds out she was captured and killed by the nobles. At this point of the story, he races back to town and with the help of the people, kills all the nobles and starts his "hero's journey" into the unknown. Through this journey he is often helped by the queen of England or his wife in dreams (the helpers). He is also encouraged by trying to be and please his dead brother and father.
William is often lured to get off track by his enemies. They tried giving him names, lands, money, etc but nothing convinces him. Other dangers for taking him off track are his wife's death (he thinks it is his fault she dies), and he has to overcome his pride.
