Thompson T211.9: Excessive grief at husband's or wife's death.

Wahrscheinliche Zuordnung · Textstelle

T211.9 is “Excessive grief at husband’s or wife’s death.” The husband’s overwhelming grief at his wife’s death is the explicit cause of her brief revival. The narrower child T211.9.1 does not fit: it specifies a wife dying of grief for her husband.

• „brach er in solchen Jammer und solche Klagen aus, daß die Leiche auf einige Augenblicke wieder erwachte.“

Mögliche Zuordnung · Textstelle

The widow falls in deep silence, shaken and trembling at her husband’s remains, then prays and gains courage. This is a plausible instance of excessive grief, so the own possible certainty is retained.

• „fiel die unglückliche Wittwe beim Anblick der Gebeine ihres Gemahls nieder in tiefem Schweigen“
• „Dann betete sie und gewann frischen Muth“

Wahrscheinliche Zuordnung · Textstelle

“Excessive grief at husband’s or wife’s death” fits Sigune’s stated relationship and grief: she calls Schionatulander her husband before God, describes their bond as true marriage, and says his death hurts her life. This relation-level evidence is explicit; a legally solemnized wedding is not an added condition. The narrower T211.9.1 (“Wife dies of grief for death of husband”) is not used because the later death is not explicitly attributed to grief.

• „Er iſt vor Gott mein Mann jedo<.“
• „Verbunden in der rehten Ehe.“
• „Sein Tod that meinem Leben wehe.“
• „Es bindet meine Treue feſt“
