What Is Freedom? According To Eren Yeager

What is freedom? Our protagonist Eren Yeager from the most popular series on the planet Attack On Titan is on a quest to attain freedom. Before you try to understand what freedom means to Yeager? You should be familiar with the plot of the anime. I will now explain the plot of the anime for all the readers who aren’t aware, which I hope aren’t many? 

The walls of Shiganshina

Yeager along with his family and friends resides inside the humongous wall structures that confine them from making any contact with the outside world. They have no idea whether there’s even life outside the walls. No one dares to check it out for themselves either because none of them want to fall prey to the hunger of the Titans who run wild outside the walls.

Eren witnessed the devastating impact of Titans on humanity when his hometown was attacked, resulting in the death of his mother.

This traumatic event fueled his deep hatred for Titans and his desire to rid the world of their existence. By achieving freedom, Eren aims to eliminate the threat of Titans and create a world where humanity can live without fear.

Yeager wants to see the world outside the walls more than anything and if he has to slay every single Titan in doing so. Then that’s what he is going to do.

Throughout the series, Eren’s motivation and desire for freedom play a central role in his character development.
