Princess Merida

There comes a day when I don’t have to be a Princess. No rules, no expectations. A day where anything can happen. A day where I can change my fate.

— Brave

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The speaker longs for a day free from the role of princess, with no rules or expectations, when anything could happen. It's a hope of changing her own fate rather than following the path laid out for her.
