DEIRDRE OF THE SORROWS
"Much damage, Deirdre, will follow your high fame and visage: Ulster in your time tormented, demure daughter of Feidhlimidh."
#/ mine. º ( edit. )
#/ don't mind me i was just having a normal amount of thoughts about deirdre and her tale
#/ and how the druid cathbad's prophecy for deirdre before she was even born perfectly illustrated how things would go for her
#/ because deirdre's only 'sin' was how disturbingly beautiful she would grow up to be. to the point it drove ulster to its demise
#/ which is very victim blamely and (unsurprisingly) the pov conchobar and other authoritative figures have. but that's not the shared
#/ sentiment of pretty much everyone else (deirdre included). tragedy 'followed' deirdre but it was just the result of selfish actions of the
#/ kings that wanted to posses her. the death of thousands and loss of half of ulster's army was the direct result of conchobar's decisions
#/ and the temper tantrum he threw because over half of the kingdom's people abhorred his actions and refused to follow his orders
#/ and even though deirdre could've made for the perfect tragic heroine that blames herself for all the tragedy that surrounded her
#/ she's never like that. she's actually presented as this indomitable wild thing that no one can posses and does whatever she wants
#/ i mean the tale of deirdre of the sorrows still is a tragedy and ends like one (even though one could also argue that her death was her
#/ way to show that no one could take away her freedom and that everything conchobar sacrificed was for naught as he was left with nothing)
#/ but i still find it really amazing that such an old tale is so 'progressive' or idk i just have lots of emotions and thoughts for deirdre
