"The Arctic Queen" by Unknown is a narrative poem written during the 19th century, likely in the romantic tradition of that era. The poem explores themes of love, longing, and the mystical qualities of the Arctic, personified through a queen who governs this icy realm. With a vivid portrayal of the Arctic landscape, blending both nature and imagination, the work delves into the intersection of human emotion and the supernatural. The story follows OLIVE, a southern princess, who embarks on a perilous journey to find her lover, BERTHO, believed to be lost in the dominion of the enigmatic Arctic Queen, OENE. Throughout her quest, OLIVE encounters various supernatural beings and confronts the queen, ultimately discovering that love transcends physical presence and even death itself. As she navigates the challenges of the frozen landscape, the poem intricately weaves her emotional struggles with the beauty and hostility of the Arctic, culminating in a poignant exploration of love's power to endure despite the harshest trials. The narrative blends elements of adventure, romance, and mythology to evoke a sense of wonder and longing that resonates throughout the poem. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
