Transcribed by David Price "The Death of Balder" by Johannes Ewald is a tragedy written in the late 18th century, rooted in Danish folklore and mythology. This work explores the complexities of love, honor, and fate through its central characters: Balder, the half-god son of Odin, and Hother, a mortal prince who finds himself ensnared in a web of tragic circumstances and rivalries over the affections of Nanna, the daughter of Gevar. The narrative is steeped in themes of destiny, emotional turmoil, and the conflict between divine and mortal realms. The opening of "The Death of Balder" introduces us to the main players: Balder and Thor engaged in a discussion about bravery, duty, and love in a pine-wood setting on Norway's mountains. Balder is portrayed as deeply troubled, lamenting his unrequited love for Nanna, while Thor attempts to advise him against this infatuation. As Balder wrestles with feelings of hopelessness, Loki appears in disguise, prompting further complications regarding Balder's fate, including ominous foretelling of his potential demise. The dialogue establishes the emotional stakes and hints at the tragic intertwining of love and destiny, setting the stage for an intricate exploration of character conflict as the unfolding drama threatens to plunge them all into despair.
