Rosine repeatedly makes it clear that she loves the Count simply because he will liberate her from her prison in Bartholo's house ("I will give my heart and my hand to whoever can rescue me from this horrible prison"); the very act of choosing her own marriage partner symbolizes her accession to the status of self-willed individual.
