“I’m perfectly fine with a girl who wants to be free, but free from what? This spoiled little rich girl offers no alternative. She doesn’t have another option for her parents, such as maybe the butcher’s son who could prove himself. What does she want to be free to do? Ride around on her horse and shoot arrows at trees? Climb waterfalls? Couldn’t she still do that? There needs to be a much stronger motivation for her temper tantrum than what is provided.”

Right.
