Question

One trait of lord ullin

Answer 1

In the poem Lord Ullin has been depicted as an angry man. He became mad with rage when his daughter defied him and eloped with the Chieftain of Ulva clan. In anger, he followed his daughter and her lover with the intention of slaying the Chieftain. The couple knew it. So while fleeing from his rage, when they were crossing the stormy sea, Lord Ullin's daughter drowned with her lover and the boatman. Lord Ullin could not do any thing to save her, though he wanted to forgive her. He was left repenting over his mad decision of not allowing his daughter to marry her lover. He realised his mistake after the loss of his daughter. It was Lord Ullin's anger that had brought the tragedy.
