Siegfried hears the
surpassing beauty and
many virtues of
KRIEMHILD and embarks
for Burgundy to win her for
his bride.
Gunther agrees to give
KRIEMHILD in marriage to
SIEGFRIED but makes in
a condition that
SIEGFRIED help him win
BRUNHILD, the queen of
isenland, for his wife.
Queen BRUNHILD recognizes
SIEGFRIED and admires him for
his reputed strength and courage
and his great wealth that he had
obtained when he killed a dragon
and bathed in its blood to render
himself invulnerable to physical
weapons.
The trial begins and
GUNTHER wins only
because SIEGFRIED,
putting his cloak of
invinsibility, performs all
the actions for him.
In BRUNHILD’s
indignation she ties
Gunther up in her
GIRDLE and hangs
him on a nail.
BRUNHILD complains
to her husband that
SIEGFRIED does not
come to Burgundy to
pay homage to
GUNTHER.
The Burgundians
decide to hold a great
feast. SIEGFRIED
and KRIEMHILD are
invited.
When BRUNHILD boasts that
SIEGFRIED is a mere vassal of
GUNTHER’s, KRIEMHILD tells
her the truth and carried off by
pride and passion, produces the
GIRDLE and the RING that
SIEGFRIED took from
BRUNHILD.
BRUNHILD vows
vengeance, and with
HAGEN, the faithful
vassal of GUNTHER,
she plans to kill
SIEGFRIED.
Before SIEGFRIED
set out, he tried to
comfort his wife, who
did not want him to
go with their relatives.
“Go not hunting. Last night I had
dreamed an evil dream --- that two
wild boars chased you over the
heath, and the flowers were red
with blood. Have pity on my tears,
for I fear some treachery. There
might be someone who hates us.
Go not, my dear lord: in good faith I
counsel it.”
“Dear love, I go only for a
few days. I do not know
anyone who bears me
hate. Thy kinsmen are
good, and I have
deserved no evil at their
hand.”
“Nay, Siegfried, for I fear
some misfortune. Last night I
dreamed an evil dream: how
that two mountains fell on you
and I saw you no more. If you
go, you will grieve me
bitterly.”
The men rode
into a deep forest
to seek sport.
They bade the
sportsmen to the table,
and they sat down, a
goodly company on a
fair meadow.
Then said Sir SIEGFRIED, “I
marvel, since they bring us so
much from the kitchen, that they
bring not the wine. If good
hunters be treated so, I will hunt
no more. Certainly, I have
deserved better at your hands.
His good spear he leaned
against the lime tree; then
the noble guest stood and
waited, for his courtesy
was great. He laid down
his shield by the stream.
The stream was
cool, pure, and
good.
HAGEN carried carried
his bow and his sword
out of his reach and
sprang back and
gripped the spear.
While SIEGFRIED drank
from the stream HAGEN
stabbed him where the
cross was, and his heart’s
blood spurted out on the
traitor’s clothes.
-SIEGFRIED and GUNTHER vs.
BRUNHILD
-SIEGFRIED vs. HAGEN
-KRIEMHILD vs. BRUNHILD
-Don’t take people for granted even if you
knew that you did a lot of things for them.
(That feeling when people take you for granted because
they already know you won’t leave them)

-Do not betray a friend or a family.
