Part 4/10:
- The Eagle and the Whale: Similar sacrifices are made for the second and third daughters, with the promise of treasures—pearl, gold, or eggs—representing worldly riches. These exchanges reflect a broader commentary: pursuits of superficial wealth come at the expense of what truly matters—family, virtue, and spiritual well-being.
The Loyalty and Acceptance of Women
Throughout the story, the daughters accept their fates with patience, embodying loyalty and gratitude. The first daughter, briefly showing defiance by kicking the bear, still accepts her lot, representing a perspective of contentment and trusting fate—values often lost in modern societal narratives but prevalent in traditional folklore.
