Freedom

Carl seeks freedom away from his repuation given by his last name, 'Matt'. He also has the ned for freedom to escape the responsibilities of his brother and having to support him, worrying about him parenting him. He seeks freedom by letting him stay at the Duncan's.

Kerry's need for freedom relates to being poor and not being able to support her family. She seeks freedom by abandoning her children and life and running away, with no explanation leaving her family to support themselves.

Sarah's freedom is similar to Kerry's. She is not a mother but is given the role of one when her mother leaves. At 18 she feels this role is too much and not right at this age. She seeks freedom by running away, lying that it was just a 'holiday' but just as her mother had done, she abandons her family.

Harley seeks freedom as a rebellious young boy trying to fit in. He takes advantage of the freedom he already has by getting into trouble all the time. That freedom is taken away when he is taken into the Duncan family in Wiseman's Cove.

Aunt Beryl's freedom relates to the stress Harley puts on her and the fact that she is also poor and has to support the boys as well. She seeks this freedom by taking Harley's child support and Carl's income.


Joy's need for freedom relates to accepting the 'Matts' for Skip's sake. She also want Skip to release the grudge he had on them. She seeks freedom by coming up with the idea of supporting Carl and Harley and showing how humane they can be.

Skip's need for freedom relates to competing and struggling to keep the barge. He works too hard for his physical strength. He seeks freedom by keeping Carl on the barge despite his history with the 'Matts' because he knows Carl is why the barge is doing better than before.

Maddie's need for freedom relates to isolation. She's deserted in Wiseman's Cove with certain restrictions. She seeks freedom by moving away to the city with her sister, where she will be able to have more freedom, as all teenagers want. She also wants freedom from love. Her boyfriend treats her unfairly and this is bringing her down. She seeks this freedom by breaking up with him, moving away will also help.

Justine has her own freedom. She's a happy-go-lucky girl who's comfortable as she is. She's overweight but has accepted that. I guess she seeks freedom from judgement of overweight people.
