    Lief Erikson Research Paper

    The date of Leif Eriksson’s birth is uncertain, but he is believed to have grown up in Greenland. Also known as “Lief the Lucky,” he was the second of three sons of a very famous Norse explorer known as “Eric the Red”. He established settlement in Greenland after being expelled from Iceland. According to the Icelandic Eiriks saga (or, “Saga of Eric the Great”), Eriksson sailed from Greenland to Norway around 1000. Historians believe that he stopped in Hebrides and had a child, whom he named Thorgils. The mother of this child was Thorgunna, daughter of the local chief in the area. While he was in Norway, King Olaf I Tryggvason, converted him to Christianity. One year later, King Olaf I Tryggvason sent him back to Greenland with a commision to convert all the settlers of Greenland to the Christian faith.…

    The Awakening Character Analysis

    Edna experiences a kiss with a man that is not her husband, this is the first experience she has that goes against the female ideals of her time (Chopin 139). Edna already shows signs of going against the grain of her society before this experience, but this experience sets her wants and needs for a freer life. A more free life from the confines of mother and wife. Her role as a wife commences to diminish and her husband becomes concerned and even consults a doctor to try and find what is wrong with her. He tells the doctor, Edna “goes tramping about by herself, moping in the street-cars, getting in after dark. I tell you she’s peculiar. I don’t like it” (Chopin 110). He shows concern due to Edna's lack of socialization with other females and the general rebellion against societal norms. Edna recognizes that the love she feels for another man is not the main reason that she is going through what she is going through. Edna says “it was not love which had held this cup of life to her lips” (Chopin 140). She knows that this desire for a life of free will is driven by her own desire. Edna begins to recognize the faults in her life and starts to revolutionize her life and…

However, as the story progresses the more turn it take the darker it gets for the two until by New Year’s Day they are already divorcing as a married couple. Though it seems like a dark ending to the play there is light in the darkness for some characters. For Krogstad and Christine it would be the exact opposite of what happen too Nora and Torvald. The two decide to get married after Christine tries to convince she still loves him from her previous relationship with him. She states, “Two on the same piece of wreckage would stand a better chance than each on their own.” that they can each give a purpose in life to each by supporting one another. Forming new bond that was previously broken is form a rebirth for the two in which they start new lives together.…
