estraven and stokven
One folktale I really found interesting was the one about estraven and stokven. It is surprising to see that two sworn mortal enemies can come together in such of an event of life and death. Even more surprising to read that they ended up falling in love, so much that they were willing to betray their nations by seeing each other and even kemering together. I think that it describes the Genthenian culture as caring because even though the two nations were in conflict and swore to be enemies, the two princes from each side looked beyond that and still found love.

I really liked this part because it's kind of like real life. It reminds me of the saying "opposites attract". Even though that's not always true because if you have nothing in common with someone then why would you like them. It really shows what being in a life or death situation can do.
