The Fourth Book: the Prince and Princess
In this chapter, Gerda runs into a crow, who misinformed her of Kay’s living with a princess. She goes to find him, only to learn of the crow’s mistake. However, the prince and princess she finds empathized with her situation and gave her a carriage to continue her search for Kay.
In between the happenings of the chapter, Anderson writes about the irony of how shared feelings of loneliness could lead to friendship…
“The word ‘alone’ Gerda understood perfectly well and was well aware how much meaning lay in it, and so she told the crow about herself and her entire life…”
…along with further mockery of those who identify as intellectuals.
“…a princess who is so immensely clever…she has also read all the newspaper that exist in the world, and forgotten them again — she is that clever.”
