Today, me and R.N. Roveleh (Instagram: @helevorn_bor) talk about Henrik Ibsen's play, "The Lady from the Sea," which subconsciously influenced her character, Merwyn, whom she's written about in the short story, "The Enchanted Isles," as part of her anthology, "Tales from the North."

Read "The Enchanted Isles" here: https://tapas.io/episode/2130584

R.N. Roveleh will also be publishing a novella about Merwyn (of the same name).

We talk about the following and more:

The play is inspired by a Scandinavian folk tale, "Agneta and the Sea King". What's the folk tale about?
What are the themes of Ibsen's play?
What's the plot of the play?
What is the main character, Ellida Wangel, like?
What's her husband like and how is their marriage?
What's her relationship with her stepdaughters?
What does the sailor, her former lover, represent?
How does Ellida compare to Merwyn?

Frankie is The Chariot in my tarot deck (Fortunus Games Tarot)!

The Chariot symbolizes willpower and determination, which Frankie has plenty of since he has to deal with so many things as the co-owner of his family's restaurant. The Chariot also symbolizes mastery and control, and Frankie has mastered his emotions for the most part. He keeps his secret desires (such as his desire for Sam, which he believes to be unrequited) and frustrations about his life under tight wraps, believing that living like this is easier not only for himself, but for everyone around him.

What happens when a series of events cause him to lose this control...? Find out (if this will happen) in my #graphicnovel on @tapas_app, "Sam in New York" (maybe 3 years from now, since this is very far into the story).
