        <description><![CDATA[In my opinion, no.  She's not evil.  In fact, I would argue that if she were a man she would be seen as a hero and there wouldn't have been any need for her to die at the end of the story.
It seems to me that Kriemhild's only motivation for doing any of the things that make her look evil is revenge.  She knows that Hagen and Gunther are responsible for the death of her husband.  Given that this is true, why should she not want to kill...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[She is concerned for Siegfried because she has told Hagen about Siegfried's weakness. He has a tender spot right between his shoulder blades. The night before the hunt, she dreams that two boars are chasing Siegfried through a field of blood-colored flowers. Because she has revealed his secret weakness and because of her dream, Kriemhild is afraid that something bad will happen to her husband.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The &quot;Song of the Nibelungs&quot; is a German epic poem from the early Middle Ages, presumably around 1200.  Like many epics of the time, including Beowulf, this poem depicted the theme of duty and chivalry.  Siegfried represents the chivalric code.  He courts Kriemhild properly and marries her.  The prisoners of war are treated less like prisoners and more like guests, as was the code of the time.  Kriemhild has a duty to pay to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[One strong belief of this culture, as well as many cultures of Europe during this time period, was that of chivalry.  This code of the knights had to do with a moral, social, and religious way of behaving.  The knights believed in behaving honorably, being honest and straightforward, and always treating women with respect.  Courtly, or knightly love, was a part of chivalry.  This was a love a knight would have for a noblewoman, causing the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Heroism in the Middle Ages was the brave, noble actions of the hero in terms of how he dealt with fate. Hagen is a villain morally, but he is also a hero because by the standards of the Middle Ages, a hero is also determined by the others in his society. Siegfried's willingness to help Gunther win Brunhild as his wife makes Siegfried a hero because it shows his strength of character. Kriemhild is considered heroic because of her loyalty to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The poem&nbsp;&quot;does not have a clearly-defined moral message for the reader. However, it raises important questions about the nature of loyalty, honor, and what constitutes tragedy.&quot;For example, loyalty and honor&nbsp;were entwined with the notion of chivalry, which &quot;encouraged knights to foster the virtues of courage, honor, and service to their lord or kinsmen. Part of this code prescribed respectful treatment of women, who...]]></description>
