Tragedy

Signy's tragedy

These stories tell tragedies that caused people to suffer

  • Signy had to witness the death of her sons and her father by the hand of her husband
  • Sinfiotli,son of signey and her brother,joined his father in the killing of Signy's husband and sons.
  • Signy thanks them for the perfect vengence then proceeds to kill herself next to her husband.

A tragedy in respect to literature is a story that includes the main character to die or would be better of if they were dead.Which did happen to the main character of this story.

Betrayal

Sigurd

This is a very tragic story as well but it is betrayal that takes the spotlight.

  • Sigurd betrayed Brynhild,A punished Valkary,After he saved her.
  • This caused Brynhild to convince her husband,Gunnar, to betray his oath of brotherhood to sigurd and kill him.
  • Gunnar sent his little brother to kill sigurd while he slept.
  • Brynhild laughed as she heard the yelling of sigurd's wife when she found him dead.Immediately after she killed herself with glee.

This also clearly fits the criteria to be considered a tradegy because the main character was killed and it is filled with the suffering of people including Sigur's wife,Brynhild, and probably evenGunnar.

An example of this is The conflict caused by Brynhild between Gunner and Signy.Brynhild told Gunner that Signy slept with her when he rescued her pretending to be Gunner.That is why Gunner then was not hesitant to "Kill" Signy at the request of Brynhild.Another is the vengence held against Signy's husband for killing Sigmundds father.So much so that Sigmund and his son went back years later to kill all his sons and burn him inside his house.
