Psychologically, indeed, the incident is acceptable enough. The saner part of Ellida's will was always on Wangel's side; and a merely verbal undoing of the "bargain" with which she reproached herself might quite naturally suffice to turn the scale decisively in his favour. But what may suffice for Ellida is not enough for the audience. Too much is made to hang upon a verbally announced conversion.
Tell us the story of the peasant lad who owned the ship that talked and had a soul. Come! I dream of the frigate Ellida, the fairy with the sails young girls should navigate!"
Ellida, in her overwrought mood, is evidently inclining to yield to the uncanny allurement of the Stranger's claim upon her, when Wangel, realizing that her sanity is threatened, says: WANGEL: It shall not come to that. There is no other way of deliverance for you at least I see none. And therefore therefore I cancel our bargain on the spot. Now you can choose your own path, in full full freedom.
Do you mean it from your inmost heart? WANGEL: Yes from the inmost depths of my tortured heart, I mean it.... Now your own true life can return to its its right groove again. For now you can choose in freedom; and on your own responsibility, Ellida. ELLIDA: In freedom and on my own responsibility? Responsibility? This this transforms everything. and she promptly gives the Stranger his dismissal.
Now the watchman at Angantyr's castle had reported the ship and the gale, and Angantyr had declared that only Frithiof and Ellida could weather such a storm. One of his vassals, Atlé, caught up his weapons and hurried forth to challenge the great hero. Frithiof had no weapons, but with a turn of his wrist he threw his opponent.
Instead he was condemned in punishment to sail away to the Orkney Islands to claim tribute from the king Angantyr. Frithiof departed in his ship Ellida, and Ingeborg stayed behind, weeping bitterly.
Their hearts would both have gone out to Ellida, but Ellida kept them at a distance with the smooth respectfulness of the iron hand in the glove of velvet; and Clementina first learned from her to imagine the impassable gulf between mistress and maid. At the end of her month she gave them, out of a clear sky, a week's warning. She professed no grievance, and was not moved by Mrs.
According to this view, the apotheosis of Ibsen's genius, or at least the most successful elucidation of his scheme of ideological drama, is reached in the scene in The Lady from the Sea where Wangel succeeds in winning the heart of Ellida back from the fascination of the Stranger.
