Answer:
The main theme of the poem 'The Legend of the Northland' is the selfishness of the greedy old woman to whom Saint Peter had asked for a cake. Every cake that she baked seemed large to her and she was not willing to part with it. She made the smallest possible cake for him but she didn't gave it to him. Saint Peter grew angry and cursed her. He turned her into a woodpecker. He said that she was not fit to live in human form in this world. It shows the shallowness of the woman and her selfishness.
