The Virgin Spring
The two main characters in the movie The Virgin Spring are Karin and Ingeri. Karin is the daughter of a wealthy, land-owning Christian family, and Ingeri is a pregnant servant of the family who still worships the Old Norse gods. Karin is sent to bring the "Mary candles" to the church in a nearby village, and she brings Ingeri along with her.
Karin is a classic example of the Virgin archetype. She is still a literal virgin, unaware of the raw sexual appeal she holds for men, and she dances on the borders of impropriety without knowing she does so. She spends the night before she is to bring the candles dancing with every available man, but does not realize the way the men react to her. Karin is very trusting of the men she and Ingeri meet along their journey, speaking to a lone Shepard that makes improper advances towards her while Ingeri, the more world-wise of the two is clearly wary of him. As well Karin is too trusting of the three Shepards that rape and murder her, and, while she pick-nicks with them before hand, she weaves a fairy tale where in the Shepards are the long lost sons of a king, she is still an innocent child at heart.
Ingeri is a bit more difficult to place in an archetypal role, but I believe she fits into the archetype of the Creator/Destroyer. From the first moment in the film it is obvious that Ingeri is pregnant, symbolic of creation, but moments later she wishes that the Great God Odin would come and kill an unnamed woman, the destructive side of her archetype. After Karin is raped and killed while Ingeri watches from her hiding spot behind a rock, she makes her way back to the family's land. It is late at night, and she huddles under the stairs outside her masters' rooms, where Karin's father finds her. She throws herself at him wailing and tells him all, seeking his protection and understanding, the need for protection characteristic of her creator side, and the things she confesses to, most notably the desire to see Karin dead, a part of her destroyer side. She also tells Karin's father that all three shepards raped and killed Karin, resulting later in their deaths, when only the two older shepards raped her.
The film also depicts the transition from the pagan belief in the Norse gods to the Christian belief system. The best depiction is the varying levels of belief held by the different characters. Karin's parents are, seemingly, quite devoted Christians. Ingeri prays to the Norse gods, but does not sacrifice to them as is traditionally done or uphold many of the Norse traditions, but she does not believe in the Christian God. The man that Karin leaves Ingeri with on their way to bring the candles still very much believes in the Norse Gods, and shows Ingeri bits from creatures, both man and animal, he has sacrificed to Odin. The truly interesting part of this crossover is that even the good Christians, Karin's parents, have most of the old traditional Norse furniture and such that do not really mesh with their new faith, for example, the throne in the dining hall for the lord and lady of the property is adorned with traditional stylized carvings of Norse mythological dragons, something that has no part of Christian beliefs, but is easily overlooked.
I was not really able to discern very many similarities between the book The Red Tent and the movie The Virgin Spring in terms of the theme of "rape and revenge". The Red Tent is told from Dinah's point-of-view, and in that view there was no rape, it is a story her brothers make to prevent their status from diminishing, only revenge, taken while the men were completely unable to fight back because of their recent surgeries and resulting medications or illnesses. The Virgin Spring is told from a third person point of view, and there is indeed a rape, and a murder. Karin's attackers are killed by her father after her awakens them, and while they are not wholly prepared to fight, they are at least able to. Dinah had only one supposed attacker, though all the men in the city were slain, while Karin has three and only they were slain. Karin's rape and murder had a witness; Dinah's did not; though the setting for both Dinah's reputed rape and Karin's rape and murder were away from their families; away in a nearby city/village or on their way to it.
