In this novel independence seems linked to individuals finding their own relationships away from the Elliot family. On page 50, William Elliot wants to remain independent from his family by marrying a wealthy lady of lower birth. On page 93, Wentworth remains independent from Anne by not avoiding her and seeking other women to marry. This independence seems to be independence from the Elliot family, as in the case of William Elliot and Wentworth.
This is the meaning that I have found...Not sure if it is right though
If independence in finding relationships away from the Elliot family, then the most prominent form of independence is illustrated Anne. Anne is going against her father and sisters word in marrying Wentworth to severe her relation with them and to start her own family. Thus, demonstrating herself as the most independent character in the novel.
*Illustrated by Anne* and *sever*
Sorry, it's really late.
nice thoughts. is "independence" related to finances at all?
With the examples given, it seems like it could be linked to finances in terms of marrying wealthy people. In my opinion it might be finances away from the Elliot family
