Thompson-Motive

Two distinct Thompson passages apply to the same unit-3 account. D1850.2 names a woman becoming immortal: she wishes to live forever and cannot die. The added D1850.1 names immortality without eternal youth: after a century she shrinks, cannot walk, eat, or drink, still cannot die, and ends mouse-sized, moving only once each year. The explicit continuing deathlessness plus deteriorating body directly supports both passage motifs.

  Textbelege und Katalog

  D1850.2 is 'Woman changes into an immortal,' under the full parent 'Immortality.' The woman wishes to live forever and thereafter cannot die; the source narrates the resulting deathless state, although the result is an aged, shrinking existence rather than a transformation scene. The passage supports the motif at possible certainty.

  • „dat se ne mier gaan un staan, ęten un drinken künn, un starwen künn se uk nich“

  D1850.1 is “Immortality useless without eternal youth.” The woman’s wish to live forever is followed by shrinking and loss of the ability to walk, eat, or drink while she still cannot die; she becomes mouse-sized and moves only once each year. This is the entry’s stated contrast between immortality and lost youth, directly in the same narrated passage.

  • „dar füng se an tausaam tau krupen“
  • „un starwen künn se uk nich“
  • „se iß nu so lütt as en Muus un bewęg sik man all Jahr eenmal mier“
