I'm taking the test right ! how does frithiof’s love for ingebord affect him? he changes from an easy-going person to one who is obsessed with winning ingebord’s hand in marriage. frithiof becomes more desperate, ruthless, and calculating with each failed attempt to be with ingebord. he puts personal safety, self-interest, and pride aside for the opportunity to be with ingebord. frithiof loses confidence when repeated attempts to defeat ingebord’s other suitors fail.
