Uniform title: Nibelungenlied
John Bursey. HTML version by Al Haines.
"The Fall of the Nibelungs" by Margaret Armour is a translated epic poem written during the late 19th century, based on the age-old Nibelungenlied. The narrative centers around themes of heroism, betrayal, and tragic love, primarily focusing on characters such as Kriemhild, Siegfried, and Gunther. The work portrays the grand tales of these legendary figures from the Burgundian court and their fateful interactions with one another. The opening of this classic tale introduces the beautiful maiden Kriemhild, who grows up under the guardianship of her valiant brothers in the kingdom of Burgundy. Despite her suitors, she remains resolute in her independence, until dreams and fate intertwine her path with that of Siegfried, a famed warrior from the Netherland. The story hints at the complexities of love and conflict as Siegfried's strong character is established and foreshadows impending tragedy due to Kriemhild’s familial ties and Siegfried's indomitable will. This opening sets the stage for a sweeping saga that delves into themes of honor, revenge, and the respective fates of these iconic characters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
