Freedom Attained

Linda finally attains her freedom through Mrs. Bruce, who buys her freedom for $300, because she wants Linda to be a free woman who can have the ability to do what she likes without being in constant fear of being captured. However, even with her newly attained freedom she feels as though she was bought and felt as if she were being passed on to another owner. She feels as though she was purchased because the Dodges and Mrs. Bruce wanted her, and she had to be negotiated. Ultimately she is freed on behalf of Mrs. Bruce buying her freedom and this is a good thing in the end. Linda won’t have to feel worried about some capturing her children, and that is a huge stress reliever for her.
