Fascinating take on Kriemhild's agency. I always thought when Hagen says, “Little does it trouble me however much she weeps,” that it was a sign of his psychopathy, ha ha.
I agree that Hagen can be read as a psychopath, but I viewed him as a sort of enabler. The other characters aren’t able to do what they want so Hagen does it for them. But of course, psychopathy wouldn’t hinder in this role either.
