| Summary | "Das Nibelungenlied" by Unknown is an epic poem written in the 14th century. The work narrates the tale of heroes, love, betrayal, and tragedy, centering on characters such as Kriemhild, Siegfried, and the Burgundian kings. It reflects the values of chivalry and the complex interplay of fate and free will within a legendary context. The opening of "Das Nibelungenlied" introduces readers to Kriemhild, a beautiful maiden of the Burgundian royal family, as she experiences a prophetic dream involving a falcon, which symbolizes a noble man who could become significant in her life. Her mother, Ute, attempts to interpret the dream, cautioning Kriemhild about love and manhood. Despite her initial resolve to remain free from romantic entanglements, the allure of her destiny seems inescapable, foreshadowing the intense conflict between love and loss that will develop throughout the saga. The narrative sets the stage for the grand tapestry of heroism, betrayal, and the eventual tragedy that envelops the characters as their fates intertwine.
