Therefore, this thesis will not seek to further define the trickster figure, but rather take the trickster figure of Norse mythology, Loki, and uncover his unique qualities which can then be translated into abstract features used in what I call, the “Loki model.” The Loki model provides a means of interpretation through which one can analyze a text or other work. In the case of this thesis, I will analyze three German texts and one American film to demonstrate the Loki model. The abstractions of the Loki model include: chaos, abstemiousness, cunning, and destruction. These qualities are ways of abolishing an order or breaking the status quo to undermine systems and create new worlds. The structures that are reshaped through chaos and language destruction are those of human nature and society. v INTRODUCTION This thesis traces Loki, a mythological figure of Norse lore, from his origin in the northernmost extension of Germanic mythology to the present day to uncover the influence that such a mythological figure continues to have to this day. I find it true that “mythology is an art form that points beyond history to what is timeless in human existence, helping us to go beyond the chaotic flux of random events, and glimpse the core reality” (Armstrong 7). This idea explains precisely why I am choosing to analyze Loki. Loki is a representation of something primal, and thus, so human, meaning that this character can be treated as an abstraction more than a mere fictional character. In this argument, I will therefore define Loki as a model of thought, a way to describe human existence, which can be found so often in storytelling. As a model, Loki is unique and goes beyond the trickster archetype within which he is often described. What makes him worthy of a model is that he is a mythological character that “pushes back the frontiers of human nature” (Scheub 12). With that in mind, this thesis will forage further into Loki’s persona. Before beginning, I would like to state that certainly Loki is not unique in all of his qualities. This is why it is important to note that this is not an uncovering of Loki as a figure, but rather, as an abstract model that can be applied to western literature and film in character analysis. The Greek god Hermes, or Latin Mercury, demonstrates that Loki is not completely unique. For example, two traits of Hermes that stand out are “his guiding function, linked to his extreme mobility” and “his mastery of speech and interpretation” (Faivre 13). Loki, too, is a master of language; and Mercury’s extreme mobility can be compared to Loki’s fluidity as a shape-shifter. Moreover, Hermes, like Loki and most tricksters, is cunning. Hermes steals Zeus’s cattle that he had said he would not steal, so that the trickster may later “enjoy the fruits of 1 sacrifice and prayer” (Hyde 38) meant for the father of the gods. In stealing the cattle, Hermes appropriates what was meant for a sacrificial ritual to himself and eats “only the portion that will not harm him” (38), i.e., the best pieces of meat. To appease Zeus, he leaves him the larger but inferior part of the sacrificed cattle in the form of a pile of bones and fat hidden under skins. Zeus recognizes the sham but does not punish Hermes because his trick amuses him. More importantly for my argument, however, is that while this demonstrates Hermes’s cunning, the act is also greedy and selfish. This is where Hermes differs from Loki. I am noting these similarities between Hermes/Mercury and Loki to make the point that I am not analyzing the Greek and Roman trickster gods and their implications for their mythologies in this thesis because they are driven by greed, a typical trickster trait that Loki lacks and that has relevant consequences, as I will show later. Instead, the interpretations I wish to offer will be derived entirely from “Loki” whom I regard primarily as the basis of an interpretation model here and only secondarily as a fictional figure. Chapter 1 discusses a few of the major points of trickster qualifications, so that I may more precisely contrast Loki with the trickster archetype to form the abstract model. Once the trickster definitions have been given, some of Loki’s largest roles in the mythology will be recounted and analyzed to show how he differs from them. This manner of recounting Loki-tales will be the grounds for the Loki model. With the Loki model, I will then provide two separate modes of analysis: literary analysis and linguistic analysis that I apply to German and American texts and films. In Chapter 2, I will present an analysis of Wagner’s Ring (1848) and Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight (2008). I have chosen to interpret these two works as an example of the transcontinental reach of the “Loki” figure in light of the character’s influence in western culture. 2 These interpretations will show that the Loki model is highly applicable to cultural and film analysis. To clarify my point about the Loki model, I will use a comparison of two figures: one who does not fit in under the abstract qualities of this model and one who does. This comparison shows how chaotic acts are used to undermine the authority of systems and create something new for both regular tricksters and the Loki model. However, while regular tricksters are often driven by greed and merely stand in the service of a higher authority, characters that follow the Loki model act independently and are therefore the creators of new worlds. The third and final chapter will utilize linguistic analysis to take a closer look at literary characters in order to prove how the Loki model can be applied in the destruction of language. Such destruction by the figures of Eulenspiegel and Münchhausen demonstrate the arbitrariness behind a person’s language, and thus, their own society. Eulenspiegel and Münchhausen will prove to apply inverse tactics to their use of language – one adds superfluous meaning and the other takes it away. Through this undoing or overdoing of language, the two figures cause reflection on one’s culture and opens up doors to re-evaluation of the society, illuminating the possibility of something new. Overall, in this thesis I will go beyond Loki’s trickster qualifications to delve deeper into the unique qualities that he possesses to describe him as a model or pattern of interpretation based on evidence from the stories where he can be found. By “stories,” I mean not only the lore that features Loki but also the German literary texts and the American film that I explore in this thesis. Before bypassing Loki’s trickster roots, however, I should define more broadly what it means to be a trickster.

  • Snorri Sturluson Qua Fulcrum
    MIRATOR 12/2011 1 Snorri Sturluson qua Fulcrum: Perspectives on the Cultural Activity of Myth, Mythological Poetry and Narrative in Medieval Iceland* Frog The present paper seeks to complement discussions of the social impacts of Snorri Sturluson’s (1179–1241) mythography, concentrating on Edda and the discourse it generated in medieval Iceland. It sets out to build an overview of Snorri’s impact on the cultural activity1 of mythology in medieval Iceland through a complementary set of specific examples with no pretence of a comprehensive survey. These examples concentrate on sites of probable innovation in Snorri’s handling of mythological material as contrasted with broader evidence of the traditions to which they are related. Each example could be presented in a paper-length discussion, but the emphasis here is on the construction of an overview in order to develop a broader frame for further discussion. Although no one example is unequivocally demonstrable, the outline of the broader social pattern presented here is not dependent on the specific details of each case nor on any one case independently. Moreover, the frame of the overview affirms that individual discussions are relevant and warranted when surveying and extending existing research. Of course, the recognition of the social impacts of Edda on the cultural activity of mythology does not demonstrate that individual examples are necessarily responses to Edda, it nevertheless shows that these would be consistent with a pattern and trend rather than arbitrary. For this reason, in addition to late or statistically demonstrable examples which are * I would like to thank my two anonymous reviewers as well as Haukur Þorgeirsson for their valuable comments and suggestions in the preparation of this paper for publication.

  • GIANTS and GIANTESSES a Study in Norse Mythology and Belief by Lotte Motz - Hunter College, N.Y
    GIANTS AND GIANTESSES A study in Norse mythology and belief by Lotte Motz - Hunter College, N.Y. The family of giants plays apart of great importance in North­ Germanic mythology, as this is presented in the 'Eddas'. The phy­ sical environment as weIl as the race of gods and men owe their existence ultimately to the giants, for the world was shaped from a giant's body and the gods, who in turn created men, had de­ scended from the mighty creatures. The energy and efforts of the ruling gods center on their battles with trolls and giants; yet even so the world will ultimately perish through the giants' kindling of a deadly blaze. In the narratives which are concerned with human heroes trolls and giants enter, shape, and direct, more than other superhuman forces, the life of the protagonist. The mountains, rivers, or valleys of Iceland and Scandinavia are often designated with a giant's name, and royal houses, famous heroes, as weIl as leading families among the Icelandic settlers trace their origin to a giant or a giantess. The significance of the race of giants further is affirmed by the recor­ ding and the presence of several hundred giant-names in the Ice­ landic texts. It is not surprising that students of Germanic mythology and religion have probed the nature of the superhuman family. Thus giants were considered to be the representatives of untamed na­ ture1, the forces of sterility and death, the destructive powers of 1.
