1. Lochinvar and Ellen had been in love with each other for a long time.
2. Lochinvar had asked Ellen’s father for permission to marry her but had been denied.
3. Lochinvar tells a number of lies in order to gain time and understand Ellen’s feelings.
4. After he realizes that her feelings lie with him, in a very deceptive manner, he dances with her and takes her away on his horse.
5. The other person did not offer any resistance and stood timidly watching Lochinvar dancing with Ellen.
Paragraph:
The cowardly groom didn’t deserve Ellen not any bride as his companion. The poem illustrates the point concisely. Lochinvar having been in love with Ellen wished to many her. But her father didn’t approve of his offer of marriage. A coward was chosen to be her groom. But being brave Lochinvar took the matter into his hands. He attended Ellen’s wedding like any peaceful guest. He tricked the father to believe that he. had come to wish Ellen well. He chose to dance but one dance with her. Being both brave and clever he led her towards the door and took off on his horse waiting there. The Netherby clan was never able to find the couple. Hence, brave are rewarded for their courage and the cowards lose what they have.
