Pg. 19
What a messed up family. After King Helgi maimed his nephew
in revenge for killing his uncle, he marries his daughter, Yrsa, and they have
a son. “He and Yrsa loved each other deeply.” This is a foreshadow of what evil
things will happen in the future due to the nature of their unhealthy
relationship as husband and wife.
Pg. 20
Queen Olof is still seeking revenge through her daughter whom she didn’t
even want or care for. Yrsa is still a pawn between her mother and father. “Your
contentment….. he is your father, and you are my daughter.” Strangely, Yrsa
gives up the man she loves even though it was a little strange that he was her
dad to go live with her unknown mother whom obviously didn’t want her after she
was born.
Messed up family - true, but it makes for an interesting story. Good comments here.
