Myth

       One day, Thrym, who is my arch enemy and king of the evil Frost giants, was able to take Mjollnir, my hammer, and refused to return it, unless, I got Freya, a beautiful goddess, to marry him.  (Well I already knew what the answer to that proposal would be.)  When I told her the request, she denied the proposal harshly.  I wouldn't blame her!  If you saw that guy, you would run.  So almost in last resort to get Mjollnir back, I decided to dress up as the bride and walk into the wedding.  Thrym was astonished when he saw my appetite, but when he asked, they told him that I was not able to eat for a week due to my excitement to marry Thrym.  By the time the feast was over, I had consumed an entire ox and three barrels of wine.  And boy was it delicious.  When it came to the time to say our vows they proceeded to hold Mjollnir over my head.  I then grabbed Mjollnir out of the air and took off my disguise, then used the hammer to smash the hall and all the giants.  I know, it was pretty impressive.  Come and get me ladies.

Resolution

The resolution of this myth is when Thor jumps out of his disguise, grabs his hammer, and destroys the hall and the Frost giants.

Climax

In the myth, I feel the climax is when he goes into the hall to act as Freya.  Thor dressed up in a wedding gown to act as Freya because the ritual in a wedding is to hold a hammer above the bride.  And as they held the hammer above him, he jumped out of the disguise, grabbed the hammer, then destroyed the hall and the Frost Giants there.

Conflict

The conflict in this myth is the constant battle between Thor and the Frost Giants.  There is also the conflict of getting Mjollnir back, and not giving away the fact that he's Thor, not Freya.

Character Development

In this myth, Thor changes from acting as Freya, to being his normal self.  In the end he destroyed the Frost Giants in the hall, after he jumped out of the costume.

Setting

The setting of this myth is a hall in the Frost Giant's territory.  This is where Thor was posing as Freya to get married to the King of the Frost Giants, and get Mjollnir back.
