1/7/20 Thomas Doyle Pd 2

The theme of today was if any such betrayal can be justified. If you have someone your word, are you degrading your moral code if you go back on it, even if it’s for the greater good? This sparked conversation as connections were drawn from Norse Mythology and the real world, including our school. In the story of Freyas unusual wedding, where Thor was disguised as a woman, a bride nonetheless. He betrayed in order to get back what was rightfully his, and the general consensus was that he was in the right. Loki basically personified betrayal, as he was a hot topic throughout the lesson. The lesson was that betrayal can be justified if you are forced into a deal, or blackmailed into a situation you have no business being involved with in the first place. This connects to both stories where Fenrir was betrayed by the gods and tied up, and Thyrm almost marrying Thor lol. Despite being a monster, and biting a hand, the Gods gave Fenrir their word, and went back on it, which the class agreed wasn’t cool to a certain extent. Class seemed comfortable in their knowledge of these topics, and did admirably on the quiz. Goooooo team
