The epic poem “The Lay of the Nibelungen” (1200s), intended to put into practice the main pillars of the code of chivalry that the Duke of Burgundy in the 14th century ultimately condensed and assigned to the Burgundian knights: faith, charity, justice, sagacity, prudence, temperance, resolution, truth, liberality, diligence, hope and valor. Although values ​​have merit, the "Lai des Nibelungen" teaches that true value and longevity come from evaluating the situation and applying the intellect to the code, submitting to God and doing not to cheat the system (the laws and cultural norms of the time). whoever is).A man only has value according to his actions or his ability to act in a certain way. However, if an action contradicts that man's beliefs, he can no longer be said to possess such ideals. Sivrit embodies the code through both his actions and his beliefs, but he is still human and therefore has flaws. Sivrit first made mistakes when he came to Burgundy and was clear about his intentions, telling King Gunther upon his arrival: "In my father's land I was told that by your side lie the boldest warriors a king has ever won - I would gladly learn if it is true! I've heard a lot about it. That's why I came here. (Anonymous, 14 years old) By lying or at least hiding the truth about his interest in Kriemhild from Gunther, Sivrit violated an important statement of the code, which states that one must always tell the truth. However, from that moment on, Sivrit is the noble vassal, serving his king and fighting for the well-being of all those around him. “Don't let this worry you and rest easy. Do as I ask: let me gain honor and gain for you, and ask your knights to come to your aid as well. […] I would...... middle of paper ...... Therefore, the reason why Hagen killed Sivrit, similar to the very modern currency of the United States, can be said to have no no sense, they are both simply there as a place of supports, ideas never fully developed, bubble gum under your shoe. And this idea that the text might make no sense is a troubling scenario for a literary analyst. One reason could be that the book is too short, not in its length as it is as long as any short story at present, but in its development. Characters come and go, are introduced and killed, begin to play a crucial role and then disappear. And as for Hagen, who, although he remained until the very end, sometimes acted contrary to the Jungian archetype he was supposed to represent – ​​that of a loyal and submissive warrior vassal – this which is only problematic because the author never gave reasons to support Hagen's actions.
