Question

Why did lord ullin promise his daughter to forgive his lover ?

Answer 1

Ans. Lord Ullin’s daughter wanted to marry the chieftain of Ulva’s Island. He did not approve of it. The lovers elope. Lord Ullin is furious. Along with his boatmen he goes after them. This picture of a stern father is one side of facts. The other is that he loved his daughter as is evident from the lines his wrath was changed to wailing “Come back! come back! he cried in grief” And I’ll forgive your highland chief, “My daughter! my daughter!” he cried in grief. His anger cools down as he sees his daughter in danger. He is ready to forgive her and her lover.
