In Beyonce's  song " Freedom" she establishes the idea that she will break free and produce her own freedom. Beyonce  makes multiple references to the idea that she is a strong, independent, worthy individual who must overcome opposition to succeed. Beyonce states," I break chains all by myself
Won't let my freedom rot in hell
Hey! I'ma keep running
Cause a winner don't quit on themselves."

Hugh Glass embodies the idea of self-reliance as he traverses a rough terrain and hostile environment. Hugh Glass is a self-empowering man who seeks redemption after a near fatal bear attack.

This quotation from Hugh Glass further characterizes his independent nature and fearless attitude. Glass's persistent nature and perseverance allow him to remain self reliant," As long as you can still grab a breath, you fight. You breathe....Keep Breathing."
