“I am not a bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will”

Simplified Meaning:
This quote means that the person feels very strong and independent. They don't let anyone control them or trap them in any way, like a bird that gets caught in a net. Think of someone who has a strong sense of who they are and what they want in life. For example, imagine a young woman who decides to start her own business despite her family wanting her to work in their store. She listens to their advice, but she follows her own path because she believes in her ideas and dreams. This shows how having an independent will means you make your own choices and no one else's plans can hold you back. Anyone can apply this idea by being true to themselves and not letting others pressure them into doing things they don't want to do.
