labor. That is what really drove his wife to infidelity when she'd been "repaired", and it was the lack of love in her own life that resulted in her killing her own hair-lipped baby out of "mercy". Maybe Hamsun didn't intend to say this, he was after all a nationalist and would want to glorify Isak as a hero, but to any un-biased reader this is obvious. I also feel that the book isn't as relativistic towards evil and good as the article would have one believe. --
420:"She evinces sympathy because of her disfigurement, because of her unjust imprisonment, because of the way she selflessly toils to serve the man who has taken her into his life, but whom she does not love. She oscillates between a kind of puritan endurance and her latent, suppressed desires to love, be loved and indulge life to the full.

I agree, but this can be said of the whole article. For instance, the character descriptions read as if none had any effect upon the lives/experiences the others. Isak, for instance, is a cold, un-affectionate husband who wanted a wife to gratify his personal manly needs as well as provide free

Hi, in the plot resume of book two, the
Lendsmand's wife is referred to simply as "Fru" as if it were her first name. "Fru", however - cognate with German "Frau" - is simply the style of a married woman, like "Mrs." in English. I'll replace "Fru Heyerdahl" and "Fru" with "Mrs. Heyerdahl". T

I think someone needs to update the table above on the talk page as the article has undergone some changes since it was last updated. I don't think it is of stub class anymore and doesn't need immediate attention but I don't want to change it because I don't know how
