Envy is an ugly disease, indeed perhaps the ugliest there is. Fairy tales, especially magic tales, are characterized by addressing various developments in a person — such as growing up, meeting life’s obstacles, and standing up to opponents. The fairy tale “The Boy Who Got the King's Daughter Back from the Sea-Troll” i... | BLARK_translated | Øvundsjúka er ein ring sjúka, ja, møguliga tann ringasta, ið er. Ævintýr, serliga gandaævintýr, eru eyðkend fyri at viðgerða ymsikar menningar hjá menniskjanum, sum tað at blíva vaksin, at møta forðingum í lívinum og at standa yvir mótstøðufólki. Ævintýrið "Drongurin, ið fekk kongsdóttrina aftur frá sjótrøllinum" er ei... |
The fairy tale is about a boy who had a poor father who was unable to give his son the food he needed. The boy therefore had to leave home and ended up at the king’s court, where he got a job with the king, whose daughter had been stolen by a sea troll. The king liked the boy very much because he was so clever — so cle... | BLARK_translated | Ævintýrið snýr seg um ein drong, ið átti ein fátakan pápa, ið ikki var førur fyri at geva soninum tann mat hann hevði tørv á. Drongurin mátti tí fara heimafrá, og endaði á kongsgarði, har hann fekk arbeiði hjá konginum, hvørs dóttir var stolin av einum sjótrølli. Kongurin dámdi væl drongin, tí hann var so klókur - ja, ... |
If we place the characters in the fairy tale into the actantial model, it looks like this: | BLARK_translated | Um vit seta persónarnar í ævintýrinum inn í aktantfrymilin, sær hann soleiðis úr: |
The subject is the boy who has a plan to get the object, which is the king’s daughter. That said, if the subject intends to have the object himself, the subject and the recipient become the same person — therefore the boy is also the recipient. The opponents/obstacles are the high lords, and for the boy to ‘win’ agains... | BLARK_translated | Subjektið er drongurin, ið hevur eina ætlan at fáa objektið, ið er konsdótturin. Tað vil tó siga, at um subjektið ætlar sjálvur at hava objektið, verða subjektið og mótakarin sami persónur - tí er drongurin eisini móttakarin. Mótstandararnir/forðingurin eru teir høgu harrarnir, og fyri at drongurin skal 'vinna' á teimu... |
The boy goes into the forest to search for the bird, because as usual there are animals in forests. But the forest can also be understood as a symbol of wisdom, where the boy goes into the forest to find answers to the tasks he receives from the king. Inside the forest the boy finds a house with a light burning. It is ... | BLARK_translated | Drongurin fer í skógin at leita eftir fuglinum, tí sum vant eru djór í skógum. Men skógurin kann eisini skiljast sum mynd uppá vísdóm, har drongurin fer inn í skógin, fyri at finna svar uppá uppgávurnar hann fær frá konginum. Inni í skóginum finnur drongurin eitt hús, har ljós brennir. Tað er her hann finnur teir trígg... |
There are also some contrasts, such as the “high” lords who set themselves high, and then there is the boy who is obedient and does as the king asks (he does not set himself high). Another contrast is that the boy is poor and clever, while the high lords are rich but not so bright. | BLARK_translated | Nakrir mótsetningar eru eisini, so sum teir "høgu" harrarnir, ið seta seg sjálvan høgt, og so er tað drongurin, ið er lýðin og ger sum kongurin biður. (hann setir ikki seg sjálvan høgt) Ein annar mótsetningur er at drongurin er fátækur og klókur, ímeðan høgu harrarnir eru ríkir, men ikki so gløggir. |
The bird is innocent, just like the boy, but as a consequence of the lies of the high lords, the boy must shoot the beautiful and innocent bird. This bird is to be a symbol of the free and innocent that is sacrificed for man's vices. | BLARK_translated | Fuglurin er ósekur, júst sum drongurin, men sum avleiðing av lygnunum hjá teimum høgu harrunum, má drongurin skjóta tann vakra og óseka fuglin. Hesin fuglur hann vera mynd uppá tað fría og óseka, ið verður offurið fyri menniskjans býttleikar. |
A theme in the fairy tale is envy. The high lords are envious of the clever boy. They try to get the boy away by making up lies and telling them to the king, but that only backfired on them in the end, where they were punished and then burned. Another theme is oppositions, such as good versus evil. The high lords repre... | BLARK_translated | Temu í ævintýrinum eru øvundsjúka. Teir høgu harrarnir eru øvundsjúkir inná klóka drongin. Teir royna at fáa drongin burtur við at finna uppá lygnir og siga tær við kongin, men tað rakti bara teimum sjálvum í síðsta enda, har teir vórðu píndir og síðani brendir. Eisini er eitt tema mótsetningarnar, sum tað góða ímóti t... |
The message in the fairy tale "The Boy Who Got the King's Daughter Back from the Sea Troll" is, as it says in Luke 14:11, "For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." The high lords exalted themselves, but they were later humbled, indeed so low that they were burned by ... | BLARK_translated | Boðskapurin í ævintýrinum "Drongurin, ið fekk kongsdóttrina aftur frá sjótrøllinum" er, sum tað stendur í Lukas 14.11 "Tí hvør tann, ið setur seg sjálvan høgt, skal verða settur lágt, og tann, ið setur seg sjálvan lágt, skal verða settur høgt.". Teir høgu harrarnir settu seg sjálvan høgt, men teir vóru seinni settir lá... |
We also have in both cases a plot in which the subject has an intention to acquire the object. The boy’s story ended well; he got the princess and the kingdom, and found good luck. The question now is whether the boy will remain the same skilled and sensible person, or whether he will change now that he has obtained po... | BLARK_translated | Vit hava í báðum førum eisini eina gongd, har subjektið hevur eina ætlan at ogna sær objektið. Søgan hjá dronginum endaði væl, hann fekk prinsessuna og ríkidømið, og fann eyduna. Spruningurin er so, um drongurin fer at vera verandi tann fitti og skilagóði persónurin, ella um hann fer at broytast, nú hann hevur fingið v... |
Both the actantial model and the contractual model, also called home-away-home, can be used in the tale. It begins with the boy at his father’s home. When he leaves home hoping to find work he gets into trouble and has to face four challenges. The tale ends with the hero finding the king’s daughter, and thus he gains f... | BLARK_translated | Bæði aktantfrymilin og kontraktfrymilin, eisini kallaður heima-úti-heima, kunnu brúkast í ævintýrinum. Tað byrjar við at drongurin er heima hjá pápanum. Tá hann fer heimanífrá við vón um at finna arbeiði kemur hann í trupulleikar, og noyðist út í fýra avbjóðingar. Ævintýrið endar við, at hetjan finnur kongsdóttrina, og... |
his arguments shall succeed, O God, compelled by angry conversations, and while the woman's child is being buried | BLARK_translated | ðingar hansara skulu eydnast, l Gud, t noyddur u nsindur um talmamrøður, og mens kvindens barn bliver gravetop |
Advertising is a big part of modern society. Advertisements are everywhere, and in all forms. On television, on the radio, on the street and everywhere else you can think of. There are ads for all kinds of things and for all groups. In this case this is an advertisement about home contents insurance for the people of t... | BLARK_translated | Lýsingar er ein stórur partur av nútíðar samfelagnum. Lýsingar eru alla staðni, og í øllum formum. Í sjónvarpinum, útvarpinum, á gøtuni og allastaðni, har hugsast kann. Har eru lýsingar um alskyns lutir og fyri allar bólkar. Í hesum førinum er hetta ein lýsing um trygging av innbúgvinum hjá Føroya fólki. Tað er Tryggin... |
In the advertisement many items are seen that people typically have at home, e.g. chairs, lamps, tableware, books. As these items are shown, a price tag appears. Towards the end we see the woman who has spoken to us. The woman is beautiful, and this is very typical of advertisements. Then a brochure is shown that the w... | BLARK_translated | Í lýsingini síggjast nógvir lutir, sum fólk vanliga hava heima við hús, t.d. stólar, lampur, stell, bøkur. So hvørt sum hesir lutir verða vístir, kemur eitt prísmerki fram. Móti endanum síggja vit kvinnuna, sum hevur tosað við okkum. Kvinnan er vøkur, og hetta er sera eyðkent fyri lýsingar. Síðan verður ein faldari vís... |
One example of long shots is when we see the whole room. Close-ups allow us to get a precise view of the details, while long shots give us a more overall picture. When we see the woman, a medium close-up is used; that means we have a close shot that is not particularly close. A characteristic of this is that you see on... | BLARK_translated | Eitt dømi um fjarmyndirnar er, tá ið vit síggja alla stovuna. Nærmyndirnar lata okkum fáa eina neyva mynd av lutunum, meðan fjarmyndirnar geva okkum eina meira yvirskipaða mynd. Tá ið vit síggja kvinnuna, verður miðal-fjarmynd (medium close-up) nýtt, hetta vil siga, at vit hava eina nærmynd, sum ikki er serliga nær við... |
Multiple viewpoints will be used. The frog viewpoint will be used when the female figure made of wood is shown. That means we see the part from below. | BLARK_translated | Fleiri frásjónir verða nýttar. Froskafrásjónin verður brúkt, tá kvinnufigururin úr viði verður vístir. Tað vil siga, at vit síggja lutin úr neðra. |
Most images are shown with a normal viewpoint. One example is when the set is shown. A normal viewpoint means that we look directly at what is being shown, just as when we are at eye level with someone. | BLARK_translated | Flestu myndirnar vera vístar við vanligt frásjón. Eitt dømi, er tá ið stellið verður víst. Vanlig frásjón vil siga, at vit síggja beint inn á tað, sum verður víst, júst sum tá ið vit eru í eygnahædd við onkran. |
The bird’s-eye view is also used several times, for example right at the beginning, when the chair is shown and when we see the records. When we see things from above it is a bird’s-eye view. | BLARK_translated | Eisini verður fuglafrásjón nýttar fleiri ferðir, t.d. heilt í byrjanini, tá ið stólurin verður vístur og tá ið vit síggja fløgurnar. Tá ið vit síggja ting úr erva er tað fuglafrásjón. |
Just as sound is very important if a recording is to work well, the lighting must also be good. In the video it is very bright. It is natural light that is used. That is to say, it is light from the sun. No switched-on lamps or the like can be seen. The lighting is especially important for the mood. | BLARK_translated | Eins og ljóð er sera týdningarmikið um ein lýsing skal rigga væl, so má ljósið eisini vera í lagi. Í sjónbandinum er sera ljóst. Tað er natúrligt ljós, ið verður nýtt. T.v.s. at tað er ljósið frá sólini. Ongar tendraðar lampur ella líknandi eru at síggja. Ljósið er serstakliga týdningarmikið fyri huglagið. |
The risk of insuring for too low an amount is that you will not receive the full value reimbursed if an accident happens. If the household contents are worth 1 million and you only insure for 500,000, you will only receive half the value in reimbursement. Therefore it is also necessary to value the household contents e... | BLARK_translated | Vandin við at tryggja ov lágt er tann, at so fært tú ikki fult virðið endurgoldið, um óhappið hendir. Er innbúgvið 1 mio vert, og tú bert tryggjar fyri 500.000, so fært tú bara 1/2 virðið í endurgjaldið. Tí er eisini neyðugt at virðismeta innbúgvið javnt og samt, og serliga um nýggir, virðismiklir lutir verða keyptir. |
Of course it costs a little more if you set the price too high. But rather that than losing more for less. | BLARK_translated | Tað kostar sjálvandi eitt sindur meira, um tú setir virðið ov høgt. Men heldur tað, enn at missa meira fyri minni. |

The story was written in 1995, and this is a period when divorce among married couples is steadily increasing. Naja was born in the early 1960s and has written poetry, short stories, children’s books, and more. She often deals with themes such as “modern life,” “love,” and “sexuality.” | BLARK_translated | Søgan er skrivað í 1995, og hetta er eitt tíðarskeið, har skilnaður millum hjún alsamt veksur. Naja er fødd fyrst í 60'unum og hevur skrivað bæði yrkingar, stuttsøgur, barnabøkur o.a. Hon viðgerð ofta evni sum "tað modernaða lívið", "kærleika" og "seksualitet". |
The short story begins in medias res, i.e. it begins in the middle of an event, and the action proceeds in chronological order. The short story is seen through the eyes of a first-person narrator, in the first person, where we hear her opinions about the man. For example, she thinks: "We stop talking and look at each o... | BLARK_translated | Stuttsøgan byrjar in medias res, t.v.s hon byrjar mitt í eini hending, og gongdin fer fram í tíðarrøð. Stuttsøgan verður sædd gjøgnum eyguni á einum eg-persóni í 1. persóni, har vit hoyra um meiningar hennara um mannin. T.d. hugsar hon: "Vit gevast at tosa og hyggja hvør at øðrum. Í somu løtu skilji eg, at mær dámar ha... |
The main character in the short story is the woman. She is for the most part described indirectly. She is married to Henrik, whom she does not love (lines 84–87). It is mentioned repeatedly that they have many problems in their relationship. For example, she wonders that she is still sober, because many have gone under... | BLARK_translated | Høvuðspersónurin í stuttsøguni er kvinnan. Hon verður fyri tað mesta lýst óbeinleiðis. Hon er gift við Henriki, sum hon ikki elskar (regla 84-87). Tað kemur tíðiliga fram, at tey hava nógvar trupulleikar í parlagnum. T.d. undrast hon á, at hon enn er edrú, tí fleiri eru farnir niðurum, í vónini um, at tað koma ljósari ... |
Henrik is blissful and does not see the problems the woman has. He merely jokes about what she says to him. He acts as if nothing has happened and goes to make coffee: "He makes coffee in the kitchen, as if nothing has happened, and eats two apples" (lines 61–62). | BLARK_translated | Henrik er líkasælur og sær ikki trupulleikarnar konan hevur. Hann skemtar bert við tí, hon sigur við hann. Hann letur sum um onki er farið fram og fer at gera kaffi: "Hann ger kaffi í køkinum, sum um onki er farið fram, og etur tvær abyl" (regla 61-62). |
He also uses harsh language toward the woman: "Such a little thing." "Now I'm tired and I'm going in to sleep" (lines 76–77). | BLARK_translated | Hann nýtir eisini harðligt mál móti kvinnuni: "Sovorðin lítil mer.""Nú eri eg troyttur og fari inn at sova" (regla 76-77). |
Rule 2): "His eyes are like fish eyes." (Rule 52-53): "His breath is sour, like rotten seaweed, or something worse." | BLARK_translated | Regla 2): ".eyguni eru sum fiskaeygu.". (Regla 52-53): "Andin frá honum er súrur, sum rotin tari, ella tað, sum verri er". |
She also mentions several times that she is burning inside. She says that she does not know the man and does not recognize the gold ring on her finger. This can indicate, as mentioned earlier, that she does not want to be associated with him, and the ring shows that she is bound to him, which she does not feel comforta... | BLARK_translated | Hon nevnir eisini fleiri ferðir, at hon brennir innaní. Hon sigur, at hon ikki kennir mannin og kennist heldur ikki við gullringin á fingrinum. Hetta kann vísa á, sum áður nevnt, at hon ikki vil kennast við hann, og ringurin vísir, at hon er bundin at honum, sum hon ikki kennir seg væl við. |
The main theme in the short story is definitely problems in relationships. It is repeatedly revealed in the story that they have some disagreements between them that they have difficulty resolving. It can be imagined that the woman has married a man she does not want to be with at all. When she is at the pub, surrounde... | BLARK_translated | Høvuðstemaði í stuttsøguni er heilt víst trupulleikar í parløgum. Tað kemur tíðiliga fram í søguni at tey hava nakrar ósemjur sínámillum, sum tey hava trupult við at loysa. Tað kann hugsast, at kvinnan hevur gift seg við einum manni, sum hon als ikki vil vera saman við. Tá hon er stødd á vertshúsinum, umringa av fólkum... |
We can also see right away that something is wrong with this marriage. It seems the woman has been married to this man for far too long, and now she has had enough. | BLARK_translated | Vit síggja eisini beinanvegin, at okkurt er skeivt við hesum hjúnarbandinum. Tað tykist sum kvinnan hevur verið gift við hesum manninum alt ov leingi, og nú hevur hon fingið nokk. |
The ending of the story is, however, very open. We do not find out whether she accepts the marriage, or whether it is dissolved between them. She seems, however, only to accept it, even though she does not love him. | BLARK_translated | Endin á søguni er tó sera opin. Vit fáa ikki at vita um hon góðtekur hjúnarbandið, ella um tað verður skilnaður teirra millum. Hon tykist tó bert at góðtaka tað, sjálvt um hon ikki elskar hann. |
You don’t know as a reader what has happened between them. Is it the woman who is suffering mentally? Is it alcohol that’s playing a part? Or is it something completely different? | BLARK_translated | Tú veit ikki sum lesari, hvat er hent teirra millum. Er tað konan, ið er illa fyri sálarliga? Er tað rúsdrekka sum spælir inn? Ella er tað okkurt heilt annað? |
However, I think it seems that the woman is married to a man she does not like at all; she mentions several times that she hates him. She lives a lie and has led herself astray because of this man, whom she believed was the right man for her. When she later tries to confirm this to the man, she does not succeed. | BLARK_translated | Tó haldi eg tað tykist sum kvinnan er gift við einum manni, sum henni als ikki dámar; hon nevnir fleiri ferðir, at hon hatar hann. Hon livir eina lygn og hevur leitt seg sjálva í villareiði av hesum manninum, sum hon helt var tann rætti maðurin fyri hana. Tá hon síðani roynir at staðfesta hetta fyri manninum, eydnast t... |
The statistics for divorces today are very high. The numbers continue to grow and often the children are caught in the middle. It is not easy for a child to have divorced parents. It is always the child who has to make the decisions; should I stay with mum or dad at Christmas? Should I celebrate my birthday with mum or... | BLARK_translated | Hagtølini fyri skilnaðir í dag eru sera høg. Tølini veksa alsamt og ofta eru børnini í klemmu. Tað er ikki lætt sum barn at hava skild foreldur. Tað er allatíðina barnið, sum skal taka avgerðirnar; skal eg verða hjá mammu ella pápa á jólum? Skal eg halda føðingardag hjá mammu ella pápa?

Analyze and interpret the short story "That Is Not My Man" (text 1). Pay particular attention to, among other things, | BLARK_translated | Greina og tulka stuttsøguna "Hatta er ikki maður mín" (tekstur 1). Legg m.a. dent á |
She watches the drunken people in the pub who are struggling to get to the jukeboxes; she feels sick. He flirts with her and always comes with his unpleasant comments. | BLARK_translated | Hon eygleiðir tey fullu fólkini í vertshúsinum sum berjast við at sleppa fram at jukeboksini, hon er illa fyri. Hann roynir eftir henni, og kemur allatíð við sínum ólekkru viðmerkingum. |
She is tired of all the drunk people and just wants to go home to bed. Suddenly she wakes up, a man comes into the apartment. She lashes out at him until he tells her that he lives in the apartment. She is beside herself. | BLARK_translated | Hon er troytt av øllum teimum fullu fólkunum og vil bara heim í song. Brádliga vaknar hon, ein maður kemur inn í íbúðina. Hon øsir seg inná hann, inntil hann fortelur henni at hann býr í íbúðini. Hon er frá sær sjálvari. |
The story takes place in the internal point of view, and it is seen through the narrator's eye in the first person. We also know the narrator’s thoughts. | BLARK_translated | Søgan gongur fyri seg í innara sjónarhorið, og hon verður sædd gjøgnum eyguni á frásøgufólkinum í 1. Persóni. Eisini kenna vit hugsarnir hjá frásøgufólkinum. |
We see this throughout the entire text because the narrator talks about her opinions of her husband. She says, among other things, "I hate him," "I burn inside. That one in there, that is not my man." (Lines 84–86). | BLARK_translated | Hetta síggja vit gjøgnum allan tekstin tí frásøgufólkið greiðir frá um sínar meiningar um mann sín. Hon sigur m.a. ''Eg hati hann, "Eg brenni innan. Hasin har inni, hatta er ikki maður mín." (Regla 84-86). |
The story has many sub-themes, including grief, illness, anger, and drunkenness. | BLARK_translated | Søgan hevur nógv undirtemu, m.a. sorg, sjúka, vreiði og drykkjuskapur. |
If one looks at the statistics for divorces in 1995, when the history is written, the rate increased a lot during that time (.1). | BLARK_translated | Um ein hyggur eftir hagtølunum fyri hjúnarskilnað í 1995, tá søgan er skrivað, er halltalið nógv vaksandi um hesa tíðina (.1). |
In the 1980s the figures for divorces were very high, but in 1990 they decreased, and that led to people becoming more interested in getting married. In 1995 they rose again. | BLARK_translated | Í 80'unum vóru hagtølini viðv. Hjúnarskilnað sera høg, men í 1990 lækkaðust tey, og tað førdi við sær at fólk fingu størri áhuga í at gifta seg. Í 1995 hækkaðist tey aftur. |
One might imagine that Naja Maria Aidt wrote the story in connection with divorce having become more common during this period. | BLARK_translated | So ein kann hugsa sær at Naja Maria Aidt hevur skrivað søguna í samband við at hjúnarskilnaðurin var hækkaður í hesum tíðarskeiðinum. |
She is married to a man she does not love. They have many problems in their marriage. This is evident throughout the story. One example is in (line 15), where she wonders that she is still sober, even though she had hoped the world would seem brighter. | BLARK_translated | Hon er gift við einum manni sum hon ikki elskar. Tey hava nógvar trupulleikar í teirra hjúnarbandi. Tað sæst gjøgnum alla søguna. Eitt dømi er á (reglu 15), har hon undrast yvir at hon enn er edrú, hóast hon vónaði at heimurin fór at sýnast ljósari. |
She acts as she thinks, and is utterly confused and doesn’t understand that she has married him (rule 80). | BLARK_translated | Hon handlar sum hon hugsar, og er ógvuliga forvirrað og skilur ikki at hon hevur gift seg við honum(regla 80). |
She has tried to turn him away, but he doesn't understand it. | BLARK_translated | Hon hevur roynt at smitað hann út, men hann skilur tað ikki. |
There is no doubt that she is convinced that they have never had a relationship, and certainly not that they are married. | BLARK_translated | Tað er einki yvamál um at hon er sannførd um at tey ongantíð hava havt samband, og so slett ikki at tey eru gift. |
She is embarrassed by him, as seen in line 64, where she runs out to vomit. She tries to solve the problems in an irrational way, and therefore it may be thought that she is having a crisis. Crises occur in many different situations. One can experience crises both alone and together with others. Often the crisis is a r... | BLARK_translated | Hon vamlast av honum, sum sæst á reglu 64, har hon rennur út fyri at spýggja. Hon roynir at loysa trupulleikarnir á ein skilaleysan hátt, og tí kan hugsast at hon hevur eina krisu. Krisur koma í mongum ymiskum støðum. Ein kann uppliva krisur bæði einsamallur, og saman við øðrum. Ofta er krisan eitt úrslit av problemum ... |
If one lets the crisis develop, it is possible that it will rule the crisis. It seems that the woman has developed a depression and cannot get out of it by herself. She projects the problems onto the man, who does not manage to see that she is depressed, and for that reason he does not do anything. This causes her to b... | BLARK_translated | Um ein letur krisuna útvikla seg, er tað møguligt at hon krisan ræðið. Tað tykist at kvinnan hevur útviklað eina depressión, og klárar ikki sjálv at koma úr henni. Hon koyrur problemini yvir á mannin, ið ikki dugir at síggja at hon er deprimerað, og av tí sama so fær hann ikki gjørt nakað. Hetta ger so tað at hon byrja... |
Most people will probably be surprised that he has to tell his wife that they are married. She may have lost her memory because of the illness. "And as strange as it sounds, I am married to you. And you are married to me" (rule 74). | BLARK_translated | Flestu undrast allarhelst á at hann má greiða konu síni frá at tey eru gift. Hon hevur møguliga mist minnið av sjúkuni. "Og so løgið, sum tað ljóðar, so eri eg giftur við tær. Og tú ert gift við mær"(regla 74). |
All these problems can tell us that she has very serious psychological problems. | BLARK_translated | Allir hesir trupulleikarnir kunnu siga okkum at hon hevur ógvuliga stórar sálarligar trupulleikar. |
The man is married to the woman who is the main character in the story. He does not seem to be particularly affected by the problems between them. But if one thinks about his lifestyle, it may seem that he has some problems. One of them is that he drinks heavily. | BLARK_translated | Maðurin er giftur við kvinnuni sum er høvuðspersónurin í søguni. Hann tykist ikki at vera serliga ávirkaður av problemunum teirra millum. Men um ein hugsar um hansara lívsstíl, kann tað tykjast at hann hevur nakrir trupulleikar. Ein av teimum er at hann drekkur illa. |
He projects his problems outward and does not seem to see what position his wife is in. But you can see it light up a bit for him on page 62. "Is it fun?" he asks, while he laughs, "because if so, then this is damn terribly sick fun." When he comes home from the pub, and she "jumps on him" he becomes angry, but then li... | BLARK_translated | Hann útihýsir sínar trupulleikar, og tykist ikki at síggja hvørjari støðu kona hansara er í. Men tað sæst at tað lýsnar eitt sindur hjá honum á reglu 62. "Er tað skemt?" spyr hann, meðan hann flennir, "tí, um so er, so er hetta fanin gali sjúkligt skemt." Tá hann kemur heim frá vertshúsinum, og hon "leypur á hann" blív... |
He does not care much about what the woman thinks of him (rule 53) "His breath is sour, like rotten seaweed, or worse." | BLARK_translated | Hann gongur ikki høgt uppí hvat konan hugsar um hann (regla 53) "Andin frá honum er súrur, sum rotin tari, ella tað, sum verri er". |
He is terribly heartless. For example, when he pats her on the head instead of comforting her. "Then I start crying again, I slump down onto the kitchen table and bawl." "There’s something completely wrong with you, huh," he says gently and pats my hair. (rule 65). | BLARK_translated | Hann er ógvuliga hjartaleysur. T.d. tá hann klappar henni á høvdið ístaðin fyri at troysta hana. "Síðani fari eg aftur at gráta, eg smokki saman niður á køksborðið og tútbrøli."Tað er púrasta galið við tær, ha," sigur hann blídliga og klappar mær á hárið.(regla 65). |
At the beginning of the story we get a sense that the narrator considers the woman to be a sensible person. This is seen, among other things, when she writes that the woman goes home because she feels she has nothing in common with the man in the pub. When one later gets further into the text and learns that it is her ... | BLARK_translated | Í byrjanini av søguni fáa vit eina kenlsu av at rithøvundurin heldur at kvinnan er eitt skilagott menniskja. Tað sæst m.a. tá hon skrivar at kvinnan fer heim, tí hon heldur seg ikki hava nakað felagsáhugamál við mannin á vertshúsinum. Tá ein síðani kemur longri inn í tekstin, før man at vita at tað er maður hennara, tá... |
One example of that is (Rule 70) "Now the ball is served, herself, this is too crazy. We don’t play like this here. I am your husband, and you don’t command me like that." — He becomes angry because her wickedness and crying continue. He does not recognize her in her actions, and seems heartless. | BLARK_translated | Eitt dømi uppá tað er (Regla70) "Nú er ballið buið, hon sjálv, hetta er ov galið. Soleiðis spæla vit ikki her. Eg eri maður tín, og hetta bjóðar tú mær ikki." - Verður illur tí hennara illsemi og grátur heldur á framm. Hann kennur hana ikki aftur í gerðum hennara, og tykjist hjartaleysur. |
The ending of the short story is very open, and does not suggest that the woman leaves the man, nor that she stays with him. From all that is said, I would judge that their marriage comes to an end. However, the story does end with the woman almost being forced to admit that she is married to the man. The author humani... | BLARK_translated | Endin á stuttsøguni er sera opin, og leggur ikki upptil at kvinnan fer frá manninum, og eiheldur at hon verður saman við honum. Eftir øllum at døma sum sagt, so vildi eg mett at teirra hjúnarband fær sín enda. Søgan endar tó við at kvinnan næstan verður noydd at viðganga at hon er gift við manninum. Rithøvindurin ger m... |
In the short story, point of view plays an important role. The short story takes place in an internal point of view, where the story is seen through the eyes of the main character in the first person. This is evident throughout the text, where the main character describes their opinions and thoughts. Examples from the ... | BLARK_translated | Í stuttsøguni hevur sjónarhorn ein týðandi leiklut. Stuttsøgan fer fram í innarasjónarhorni, har søgan verður sædd gjøgnum eyguni hjá høvuðspersóninum í 1. persóni. Tað sæst í øllum tekstinum, har høvuðspersónurin lýsir sínar meiningar og hugsanir. Dømir úr stuttsøguni eru t.d. "eg brenni innan", eg hati hann" (r. 43).... |
The sentence structure in the short story consists of medium-length sentences. They are not difficult to understand, and there is a lot of direct speech. One example of direct speech is “Do you want me to call the police, I’m screaming” (ll. 39–40). The sentences describe the style and choice of words well, because the... | BLARK_translated | Setningsbygnaðurin í stuttsøguni er miðal langir setningar. Teir eru ikki torførir at skilja, og tað er nógv beinleiðis tala. Eitt dømi um beinleiðis talu er "Vilt tú hava, at eg ringi eftir politinum, skríggi eg" (r. 39-40). Setningarnar lýsa væl stílin og orðavalið, tí at stuttsøgan hevur nógvar beinleiðis hendingar.... |
The short story is told concurrently with the events as they occur (medlit). The short story takes place during the winter in the mid-1900s. The setting of the short story is in a large city. For example, we can read that the woman takes a hired carriage home from the workshop (line 15). Another indication that she liv... | BLARK_translated | Stuttsøgan verður søgd samstundis, sum hendingarnar fara fram (medlit). Stuttsøgan gongur fyri seg um veturin mitt í 1900 talinum. Staðið stuttsøgan gongur fyri seg er í einum stórbýi. T.d. kunnu vit lesa at kvinnan tekur ein hýruvogn heim frá verksthúsinum (r. 15). Eitt annað í vísir á, at hon býr í einum stórum býi e... |
The characters in the short story are described indirectly — that is, they are portrayed through what they think, say, and do. | BLARK_translated | Persónarnir í stuttsøguni eru óbeinleiðis lýstir tað vil siga, at teir verða lýstir gjøgnum tað, sum teir hugsa siga og gerða. |
The short stories in the short story collection "Purpose" by Naja Marie Aidt are mostly about adult people who live their lives without a firm foundation and community. This is also true of the short story "This Is Not My Man." | BLARK_translated | Stuttsøgur í stuttsøgusavniðinum "Tilgang" hjá Naja Marie Aidts er sum oftast um vaksin menniskju, ið liva lívið uttan fast grundarlag og felagskab. Hetta ger seg eisni galdandi í stuttsøguni "Hetta er ikki maður mín". |
The language and style of the story create a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere. | BLARK_translated | Málið og stílurin í søguni skapar eitt dapurt og ræðandi huglag. |
The story begins in medias res, i.e. the story starts in the middle of an event, where the background of the characters or the event is not described to the reader beforehand. | BLARK_translated | Søgan byrjar í medias res tvs. at søgan byrjar mitt í einari hending, har ið bakgrundin hjá persónunum ella hendingini ikki verða lýst lesaranum áðrenn. |
The action in the story proceeds chronologically, and has no flashforwards or flashbacks. | BLARK_translated | Gongdin í søguni fer fram í tíðarrøð, og hevur ongan framlitir ella afturlitir. |
The narrator is the woman in this story. All the events and thoughts are from her point of view. Because the story is seen through a particular person, and the reader is made aware of that person's thoughts, the story is written from an internal point of view in the first person. We only know her thoughts, and not his.... | BLARK_translated | Frásøgufólkið er konan í hesari søguni. Allar hendingarnar og hugsaninar eru eftir hennara sjónarhorni. Av tí at søgan verður sædd gjøgnum einum ávísum persóni, og lesarin fær hugsaninar hjá viðkomandi at vita, er søgan skrivað eftir innara sjónarhorni í 1. persóni. Vit kenna bara hugsaninar hjá henni, og ikki um hugsa... |
One also gets the impression that he likes to drink a lot, and that he does so regularly. | BLARK_translated | Man fær eisini varhugan av at honum dámar væl at drekka, og at hann ger tað regluliga. |
He and the woman have grown apart from each other; she no longer recognizes him. The narrator is the woman, and she describes her husband directly. | BLARK_translated | Hann og konan eru voksin frá hvørjum øðrum, hon kennir hann ikki aftur. Frásøgufólkið er konan, og hon lýsir mannin hjá sær beinleiðis. |
Hendrik’s wife is a depressed woman who does not love him. She does not like her husband and has difficulty living with him. In her eyes their marriage is dissolved, and she does not try to improve the situation. She says she does not remember that she married him and that they live together. She also cannot stand the ... | BLARK_translated | Konan hjá Hendrik er ein deprimerandi kona, sum ikki elskar hann. Henni dámar ikki mannin hjá sær, og hevur ringt við at búgva saman við honum. Í hennara eygum er hjúnabandið millum tey bæði upployst, og hon roynir ikki at bøta um støðuna. Hon sigur seg ikki minnast, at hon er vorðin gift við honum, og at tey búgva sam... |
There is no development in the main character; you really don't know what she does in the end. Whether she stays with the man or runs away is something the reader has to imagine for themselves. When you don't know the end of a story, the ending is called an open ending. | BLARK_translated | Eingin menning fer fram hjá høvuðspersóninum, man veit faktiskt ikki hvat hon ger í endanum. Um hon verður verandi hjá manninum ella rýmir, er nakað sum lesarin má ímynda sær sjálvur. Tá ið man ikki veit endan í einari søgu, verður endin kallaður fyri ein opin endi. |
The woman compares Hendrik’s eyes to fish eyes (lines 2–3), and this is a comparison where she likens her husband to something cold and devoid of feeling. Fish eyes are used as a symbol of something numb and cold. | BLARK_translated | Konan samanber eyguni hjá Hendrik við fiskaeygum, (linja. 2-3) og tað er so ein samanbering, har hon samanber mannin hjá sær við nakað kalt og kensluleyst. Fiskaeyga verður sýmboliserað sum nakað kámut og kalt. |
At first one gets the impression that the woman is clever and sensible, and knows where her limit is. (lines 6–9) She describes how the separated/estranged people behave, and distances herself from a man (who later turns out to be Hendrik) because she cannot stand him. | BLARK_translated | Í byrjanini fær man ta áskoðanina at konan er klók og skilagóð, og veit hvar hennara mark er. (linja. 6-9) Hon lýsir hvussu býtt fullu fólkini uppføra seg, og rýmir frá einum manni, (ið seinni vísir seg at vera Hendrik) tí hon heldur hann ikki út. |
In the end one catches on that the story is about a confused woman who lives with her husband, who is cold and has no understanding of women. | BLARK_translated | Í endanum fangar man so eisini at søgan er um eina forvirraða konu, sum livir við sínum manni, ið er kaldur og ikki hevur nakra fatan yvir kvinnum. |
Otherwise the story is fairly simple and clear. The story cannot be misunderstood, but it may have some sentences that make the reader think a bit extra. | BLARK_translated | Annars er søgan rættiliga einføld og greið. Søgan kann ikki missskiljast, men hon kann hava nakrar setningar, ið fær lesaran at hugsa eitt sindur eyka. |
The story is told by the wife, who is the narrator and also the main character. The story is told in the first person with an internal point of view. Throughout the story she relates her thoughts and feelings: "In that moment I understand." (line 1), "[I] am surprised that I am sober." (lines 14–15) and "I am far too a... | BLARK_translated | Søgan verður fortald av konuni, sum er frásøgufólkið og eisini høvuðspersónurin. Søgan er fortald í 1. persóni við innara sjónarhorni. Gjøgnum alla søguna sigur hon frá sínum tonkum og kenslum: "Í somu løtu skilji eg." (r. 1), "[eg] undrist á, at eg eri edrú." (r. 14-15) og "Eg eri alt ov uppøst. Eg brenni innan." (r. ... |
The story does not take place over a long period of time. We learn that it is 4 o’clock in the morning when she goes home, and that she wakes Henrik again at 11 the next morning. If we add up the hours, this gives us a period of about 7 hours. | BLARK_translated | Søgan fyrigongur ikki yvir eitt langt tíðarskeið. Vit fáa at vita, at klokkan er 4 um náttina tá hon fer heim, og at hon vakir Henrik aftur klokkan 11 morgunin eftir. Rokna vit so tímarnar saman gevur hetta okkum eitt tíðarskeið uppá áleið 7 tímar. |
Divorce began to become visibly more common in the 1990s, and is something that happens regularly today, so I believe the story takes place in the 1990s. | BLARK_translated | Hjúnaskilnaðurin byrjaði at taka seg sjónliga fram í 90'unum, og er nakað sum hendir vanliga í dag, tí meti eg at søgan fyrigongur í 90'unum. |
The woman is the main character in the story, yet she is given no name and no age in the text. But she is probably a married woman, because she is married to the man Henrik, goes to the bar and drinks herself drunk on alcohol. But it later turns out that she does not like Henrik very much, and she becomes easily angry ... | BLARK_translated | Konan er høvðuspersónurin í søguni, tó fær hon einki navn og ongan aldur givnan í tekstinum. Men hon er helst ein tilkomin kvinna, tí hon er gift við manninum Henrik, gongur á barr og drekkur seg fulla av alkoholi. Men tað vísir seg seinni, at henni ikki dámar sera væl Henrik, og hon verður lætt ill inná hann: (r. 28 +... |
Henrik is married to the woman who is the main character in the story. She describes his eyes as being like fish eyes; they stick out a bit, and are pink and watery (p. 2). At first Henrik is somewhat passive and lets the woman scold, hit, and kick him without doing anything back to her, but rather just goes to sleep. ... | BLARK_translated | Henrik er giftur við konuni, ið er høvuðspersónurin í søguni. Hon lýsir eygu hansara sum, at hann hevur eygu sum fiskaeygu; ið standa eitt sindur útúr, eru bleik og vatnkend (r. 2). At byrja við er Henrik eitt sindur aftur haldin og letur konuna skelda, sláa og sparka eftir honum, uttan at gera henni nakað smávegin aft... |
Work does not have such great importance for him, and his use of language is not of the refined kind; we see that, for example, in line 36: ". and there one sits, forgotten, left with a rotten sensation, the old has been emptied, it is painfully dead, well done." | BLARK_translated | Arbeiði hevur ikki so stóran týdning fyri hann og málnýtslan hjá honum er ikki av tí fína slagnum, tað síggja vit t.d. á reglu 36: ". og har situr man, gloymdur eftir við fúlari kenning, gamla er rýmd, tað er pínadoyð væl gjørt." |
There are a few images in the story: "the eyes are like fish eyes, stick out a bit, are weak and water-filled," "I burn inside," and "a gold ring is screwed down into the flesh." | BLARK_translated | Nakrar myndir eru í søguni: ". eyguni eru sum fiskaeygu, standa eitt sindur útúr, eru veik og vatnkend.", "Eg brenni innan." og ". gullringur situr skrúvaður niður í kjøtið". |
Feeling like you're burning inside can come from being stressed and exhausted, and it is more an expression that someone is about to burst than that they are literally burning inside. | BLARK_translated | Tað at brenna innan kann koma av, at man er stressaður og ikki orkar meira, og er tað heldur eitt úttrykk fyri, at ein er um at bresta heldur enn, at hann bókstaviliga brennur innan. |
The gold rings that are screwed fast into the flesh are a symbol of the vow one makes when one is married into a marriage. That they are screwed fast into the flesh is meant to show how significant that vow made at marriage is, and that the rings are placed there to remain there. | BLARK_translated | Gullringarnir sum sita skrúvaðir fastir niður í kjøtið, eru mynd uppá tað lyfti man ger tá man verður giftur inn í eitt hjúnarband. At teir sita skrúvaðir fastir í kjøtið, skal vísa á hvussu tídningarmikið hetta lyfti sum man ger tá man verður giftur er, og at ringarnir eru settir har fyri at verða har. |
It can also be said that the whole story is a picture of what divorce was like at that time. The story is an example of how a marriage can end if we do not pay attention to one another. But the story has a very open ending. It does not confirm whether the woman leaves the man or chooses to stay with him. In the end the... | BLARK_translated | Eisini kann sigast, at øll søgan er ein mynd uppá hvussu tíðin viðv. hjúnarskilnað var um tað mundi. Søgan er eitt dømi uppá, hvussu eitt hjúnaband kann enda, um vit ikki vísa hvør øðrum ans. Men søgan hevur ein sera opnan enda. Hon staðfestir ikki, um konan fer frá manninum ella velur at vera verandi saman við honum. ... |
Marriage is something very serious to take on. In earlier times it was shameful to change spouse, whereas today it is very common and current for some spouses to choose to part from each other. If you enter a marriage, it is not directly expected of you that you will live together for the rest of your life, because giv... | BLARK_translated | Hjúnarband er nakað sera álvarsamt at fara í holt við. Fyrr í tíðini var tað skomm at skifta makað, meðan tað í dag er sera aktuelt og vanligt, at eini hjún velja at fara frá hvørjum ørðum. Fer tú í eitt hjúnarband verður tað ikki beinleiðis vænta av tær, at tit fara at liva saman reystina av lívinum, tí eftir umstøðun... |
Life is not always easy and we will often encounter difficult situations where we do not know what to do; problems are only a part of our life’s journey, and we must take them with us and learn from them. | BLARK_translated | Lívið er ikki altíð lætt og vit fara ofta at koma út fyri truplum støðum, har vit ikki vita hvussu vit skulu gera, trupulleikar eru bert ein partur av okkara lívs gongd, og mugu vit taka teir við okkum og læra av teimum. |
The story is about two different people — a woman and a man. They know each other, and clearly have a past that has led them into the difficult situation they are in. | BLARK_translated | Søgan tosar um tveir ymiskar persónar - eina kvinnu og ein mann. Tey kenna hvønn annan, og hava greidliga eina fortíðar søgu, ið hevur leitt tey í ta torføru støðu, tey eru í. |
The man is called Henrik (l. 84), but is referred to as “he” or “the man.” He is described as a brutal tyrant who drinks heavily and is violent. He is manipulative, and everything she says he twists and turns against her. | BLARK_translated | Maðurin ber navnið Henrik (l. 84), men verður umrøddur sum "hann" ella "maðurin". Hann verður lýstur sum eitt ófantaligur tyranur, sum drekkur illa og er harðligur. Hann er manipulerandi, og alt, sum hon sigur, fær hann vent við, og koyrt ímóti henni |
The story is told from the woman's inner point of view. She narrates based on what she sees and experiences, and therefore we only get her perception of the situation. Had the story been told from the man's perspective, it would likely have taken a different turn and been a completely different one, even though the sam... | BLARK_translated | Søgan er fortald úr innara sjónarhorninum hjá kvinnuni. Hon fortelur útfrá tí, sum hon sær og upplivur, og vit fáa tí bert hennara fatan av støðuni. Hevði søgan farið fram undir sjónarhorninum hjá manninum, hevði søgan ivaleyst fingið vend í og verið ein heilt onnur, sjálvt um sama hending varð fortald. Harafturat tyki... |
The end of the story is open, and is therefore open to interpretations. It is not revealed who the man really is, only that she no longer sees him as her husband. | BLARK_translated | Endin á søguni er opin, og er tí opin fyri tulkingum. Tað verður ikki upplýst, hvør maðurin veruliga er, men bert tað, at hon ei longur sær hann sum mann sín. |
The short story can easily be placed in a social context, and it can also be a true story. Often one hears a story about women who no longer want to be with the man, who are exposed to violence, and who have difficulty getting out of this pattern. On the women's shelter website (some stories are published about real wo... | BLARK_translated | Stuttsøgan kann lættliga setast í samfelagsligt høpi, og kann eisini vera ein sonn søga. Ofta hoyrir ein søgur um kvinnur, ið ikki longur vilja vera hjá manninum, sum eru útsettar fyri harðskapi, og sum hava torført við at sleppa úr hesum mynstrinum. Inni á heimasíðu kvinnuhúsins ( eru nakrar søgur útgivnar um veruliga... |
As we can see, the whole story unfolds in chronological order, because there are no flashbacks of any kind. This also means that the author has used a chronological structure. The timeline covers only one evening and the morning after that evening, so this is a very short story. We do not know when it takes place, only... | BLARK_translated | Sum vit síggja, gongur øll søgan í tíðarrað, tí tað eru eingin afturlit av nøkrum slag. Hetta vil also siga, at rithøvundurin hevur brúkt tíðarraðarbygnað. Tíðarrøðin fevnir bert um eitt kvøld, og morgunin eftir hetta kvøldið, so hetta er ein sera stutt søga. Vit vita ikki nær hon gongur fyri seg, bert at kvinnan og ma... |
The narrator in the short story is the woman herself. This is seen very clearly throughout the story, because she is constantly told from the internal point of view, in the first person. Examples of this include, among other things: "In that moment I realize that I do not like him," and "Then I fall asleep." The narrat... | BLARK_translated | Frásøgufólkið í stuttsøguni, er kvinnan sjálv. Tað sæst sera týðiliga í gjøgnum alla søguna, tí hon verður alla tíðina fortald frá innara sjónarhornið, í fyrsta persóni. Dømir um hetta er millum annað; "Í somu løtu skilji eg, at mær ikki dámar hann", og "So sovni eg". Frásøgufólkið, er eisini ein av teimum einastu pers... |
If we start by looking at the woman, there are only indirect descriptions of her. The first thing we notice is that she is very dissatisfied with her life. She has probably once been very good to her husband, but something has happened that has made her no longer recognize him, and this affects her a great deal. Emotio... | BLARK_translated | Um vit byrja at hyggja at konuni, so eru tað bert óbeinleiðis lýsingar av henni. Tað fyrsta, sum vit fata, er at hon er sera ónøgd við lívið hjá sær. Hon hevur helst einaferð verið sera góð við mann sín, men okkurt er hent, sum hevur gjørt at hon ikki kennir hann longur, og hetta ávirkar hana sera nógv. Kensluliga hevu... |
Although the short story is written fairly straightforwardly and the language is easy to read, there is some imagery that gives the text a bit more meaning. For example, there are two comparisons that both describe how much the woman dislikes her husband; these are: "her eyes are like fish eyes" in line 2, which the wo... | BLARK_translated | Hóast stuttsøgan er skrivað rættiliga líka fram, og málið er lættlesiligt, er eitt sindur av myndamálið, sum geva tekstinum eitt sindur meir týdning. Eitt nú, eru tvær samanberingar, sum báðar lýsa hvusssu illa kvinnuni dámar mannin hjá sær, hesar eru: ".eyguni eru sum fiskaeygu." á reglu 2, sum kvinnan brúkar at lýsa,... |
Although one may think one has found the right partner, that is not always the case. Various problems can arise in the relationship that make this person suddenly not seem as remarkable as one once believed. In the short story "This Is Not My Man" Naja Marie Aidt describes very well a marriage that, after a few years, ... | BLARK_translated | Hóast man heldur seg hava funnið tann rætta makan, er tað ikki altíð, at so er. Ymiskir trupulleikar kunnu vera í parlagnum, sum gera at hesin persónurin knappliga ikki tykist so framúrskarandi, sum man einaferð helt. Í stuttsøguni "Hatta er ikki maður mín" lýsir Naja Marie Aidt sera væl eitt hjúnaband, sum eftir nøkur... |
Homosexuality, same-sex, marriage, Christianity, equal rights. These are words we hear almost every day, and they seem to go hand in hand. These days you almost never hear the word “same-sex” without immediately hearing one or more of the words “marriage, Christianity, equal rights.” That’s perhaps not so strange becau... | BLARK_translated | Homoseksualitetur, samkynd, hjúnarband, kristindómur, javnrættindi. Hetta eru orð vit hoyra nærum hvønn dag, og tað er sum ganga tey hond í hond. Hesar dagar hoyrir tú næstan ongantíð orði "samkynd", uttan at beint aftaná hoyra eitt ella fleiri av orðunum "hjúnarband, kristindómur, javnrættindi". Tað er kanska ikki so ... |
Homosexuality has been the subject of many heated clashes among many people in today’s society in recent years. One of the strongest opinions of all comes from the Christian church. The Christian church says that no one is born gay, it is not a design from God, but that the environment is to blame. Most gay people say ... | BLARK_translated | Homoseksualitetur hevur verið evnið í nógvum upphitaðum samanbrestum millum nógv fólk í dagsins samfelag seinastu mongu árini. Ein tann sterkasta meiningin av øllum kemur frá kristiligu krikjuni. Tann kristiliga kirkjan sigur, at eingin er føddur samkyndur, tað er ikki eitt design frá Guði, men at tað er umhvørvi ið he... |
