Pg. 29

“Now we return to farmer Svip……another three are still fighting.” Through Svip’s magical abilities he realizes his son needed help. He doesn’t want to send his other two sons because he knows if he sends them away he is releasing them into the world. They won’t return home again once they have experienced life outside the farm. Although he knows if he doesn’t send his sons, then his oldest son will be killed so he decides to send them out anyway.

Pg .30

“I want to look for …..winning a great a victory for you.”

Ironically, Svipdag and his brothers are driven away by King Adils who doesn’t keep his word and doesn’t reward them for their battles. Adils doesn’t understand until it was too late how great the 3 brothers were as warriors, and how valuable they were to him and his kingdom.

Pg 35

“At this time, the king was getting on in years, and the effects of his age were soon apparent in the queen’s behavior. This is a foreshadow of what will happen in the future. Queen Hvit is not happy being married to an older man so obviously she will try to find a younger man.
