Sedgwick's Midwinterblood

Together with Eric, who was described by Priestley as shy and childish. This changed as we realised his part in Eva’s death. Eric was honest and admitted his faults. Eric refuses to try to cover his part up, saying, what he did is what he did and he can’t change it. He was embarrassed that he was a hardened drinker. He is a thief and he later feels the guilt of this when he realises he contributed in encouraging Eva Smith's death and that he was the father of her unborn child. Moreover, when Eric realises that his mother is partly responsible for the death of his unborn child he is petrified, shocked and turbulent. By the end of the play Eric had taken responsibility for his actions alongside Sheila.

Erik the Red was a Norwegian Viking that was born in the 10th Century C.E, and his life contributed significantly to the outstanding legacy of the Vikings through his explorations. It is through the discovery of Greenland and its later settlement that cast Erik the Red’s legendary adventures into folklore. These two events are how Erik the Red played his role in Viking history, not through warfare, but through explorations. The adventures undertaken, and the feats achieved by Erik the Red cement his place in Viking History.

He also talks about Eric with his unique perspective on life has been taken away and never returned. Questions in Wolterstorff’s mind that will never be answered because Eric is now deceased. Never to be sealed, an infinite abyss in his life due to the loss of son.(Wolterstorff, 1987). His bargaining is the result of his beliefs in God, the author asks himself why Eric had to climb the mountain alone. That he should have stayed on flat ground and why didn’t in all regards go with someone such as a friend. He then begins reading books on grief to answer questions that to get a better understanding on how to deal with the death of his son. In these books, God is mentioned. Correlating with bargaining which states the following, “secretly, we make a deal with God or our higher power in an attempt to postpone the inevitable.” Wolterstorff will not overlook the misery of Eric’s death but owes it to God.

Eric is a character created by J.B Priestley Personally; there aren't any connections between Priestley's past and Eric. From Eric’s point of view, the whole story wasn't for him, rather he was just a side character

From a young age Eric was taught to kill, and let no traitor survive. “He and his father had to leave their homes in Norway in a hurry because of some killings” (Dr. Anne Millard page 22). His family was exiled from Norway. Eric had to go to “court”. Even though Eric had trouble in his life he worked through it all, and make a big impact in the history of

In the book Midwintersblood by Marcus Sedgwick Eric explores Blessed Island, at one point he goes swimming and his clothes are laid neatly when he comes back to get dressed suggesting the island is magical. "He undresses quickly and eases into the water from a warm rock" narrated the narrator (Page 21). "He knows he dropped [his clothes] in a pile where he undressed. Now they are laid out neatly, spread flat, to warm on the sunny rocks. He looks around, but can see no one" (Page 22). Eric begins to wonder why the clothes are folded and

This chronicle describes several instances in which Viking forces continuously and ruthlessly confronted Alfred the Great; once one army is disbanded another Viking army attacked. This sentiment is evident in the following lines: “As soon as they came to the mouth of the Stour, then met them sixteen ships of vikings, and they fought against them, and captured all the ships, and slew the men. When they werere turning homeward with the booty, a great naval force of vikings met them, and then fought against them on the same day.” Despite the constant threat the Vikings poised to Alfred the Great and his forces, each Viking aggression had been conclusively defeated yet these victories were not without a valiant effort on the part of Alfred and his forces. This chronicle concludes on Alfred’s success by stating: “In the same year King Alfred restored London; and all the Angle raceturned to him that were not in the bondage of the Danish

As Aileana watched this seal man, he dove into the water and headed to the beach. She tried to remember the tales her Seanmhair had so often told her as a child, about the Selkies of Scotland.

The era of history known as the Viking age lasted from the late eight century to the late eleventh century A.D. The society to which we refer to as Vikings represented different groups of merchants, warriors and explorers, including the Swedes, Norwegians, and Danes, who were often divided into smaller kingdoms. Vikings were people who spent most of their time on the ships, and thus the history usually describes them as the masters of the sea. They are considered as the ruthless and fierce pirates, pagans, ravagers and despoilers who inhabited Scandinavian territory during the medieval times. However, it is important to say that the view of Vikings is sometimes usually misunderstood and misinterpreted. Although they were ruthless raiders,

The interlocking or weaving thread that pulls the short stories together in the novel, Midwinterblood, by Marcus Sedgwick is the two main characters that keep reappearing in every short story. The two characters are Merle and Erik. Even though Blessed Island has the flowers that seem to be cursed in some way to make Eric either die or feel very sleepy which is oddly peculiar. My reasoning for this is because Eric feels like he has been here before and other characters also believe that also. "I, thinks Eric Seven, have lived this before." This quote is intriguing because he says this in his head and it makes the reader think why would he say that. Well as you read the story you figure out that the stories yet to come all feature the name Eric
