The second book I read for my research paper was "Scandinavian Mythology" by Jason Porterfield. While the first book I read taught me a lot about the stories and characters in norse mythology, my second book gave me more insight on these effects on modern society. The Scandinavian mythology book showed me a lot of different artifacts left from the Scandinavian people. It also had a section on the legacy left by the mythology which will be helpful in writing my conclusions and connecting the myths to modern society, which is what I will be focusing on for my paper.
I have come to the definite conclusion that my paper will be focusing on norse mythology in modern society and pop culture. I will include multiple aspects of how these characters and stories are seen today and give a background explanation of how they actually came to be. Both books have expanded my knowledge on the norse myths and while reading I noticed that a lot of these characters are seen in movies, video games, and literature so I have decided to focus specifically on those aspects for my paper.
