story regarding Loki and how he helped Thor recover his helmet, the giant, Thrym had a strong influence. Other giants and even Loki had to listen to Thrym’s demands of bringing Freyja to marry her and, in return, get back the hammer he had stolen (CoreKnowlegde.org, p.2). Notably, the philosophy or theory of virtue ethics best aligns with the actions depicted by the archetypes and non-material cultural elements. In this sense, virtue ethics emphasizes the importance of promoting individual excellence while promoting the good in others through profound wisdom. Generally, actions portrayed by gods like Thor demonstrate rational judgment in his quest to save humanity from the greedy giants.
