There are some events that are differences between the novel and film. First, the attacking of William Wallace against the British army when he knows that Murron does not present in the grove as what he said to her after the effort of British men to rape her.

The only trouble that is possible is coming from British Army who try to chase her. He knows that exactly then his hatred to these men reaches the top. He rides his horse to the town and pretends that he will surrender. He drops his broadsword but he still keeps his dagger. Knowing William comes with no weapon Hesselrig asks his man to catch him but William hit these men and does what Hesselrig has done to Murron.

I think it does not meet with the character of William. William is brave, keeps his honour it is proven when he knows that Murron’s sister has to give her virgin to English man in her first night of
