They may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!
— William Wallace ‧ Braveheart

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The film's Wallace asks the assembled men to measure survival against the freedom they are fighting for. The speech turns fear of death into a collective claim of purpose. It is dramatic dialogue from Braveheart, rather than an authenticated record of a medieval address.
