Nach siner swester kinde hat er vil groze ungehabe.
1922] Bell: The Sifter's Sail in the Medieval German Epic 141 It is the uncle's most poignant regi*et that he did not know of the potion before, and that it is too late to make the lovers happy {Eilh. Trist. , 9478 ff. ; Ileinr. Trisf. , 6726ff. )- Commentators have stated that Tristan's relationship to his uncle makes his deeds appear all the blacker. But there is another aspect to the plot. The older versions show no moral struggle in the ne...phew. He does not abduct the queen, nor is he a vile seducer. His breach of faith towards his uncle is not a voluntary one, but is represented as wholly due to the irresistible power of the love potion. On the other hand, the uncle's love is such that he is endlessly able to forgive. The narrative may be fairly said to place the emphasis on the closeness of the uncle-nephew tie rather than upon its failure.
Careful studj^ of medieval Germany's most renowned court epic, the Parzivdl, reveals looming more or less clearly in the background, as the original theme of the entire plot, the duty to one's kin, in particular to the mother and the mother's brother, and the penalty which comes from violation of that duty.
