* ValuesDissonance: Some might say Joukahainen using his sister to ransom his life with from Väinämöinen makes him rather a DirtyCoward and that Väinämöinen accepting it makes him a StalkerWithACrush.
** Elias Lönnrot probably secretly thought so, too, making it something like DeliberateValuesDissonance.
*** Maybe not just Lönnrot: it's possible that it was meant that way from the start and was the whole point of the story. It is portrayed as quite a nasty situation from [[NamedByTheAdaptation Aino's]] point of view: the cowardly brother selling her out, the mother happily complying in hopes of a powerful son-in-law, and the old and lecherous husband-to-be.
** Yes, but that's okay, because she preserves her virginity and honor by drowning herself.

* DesignatedVillain: Louhi first appears on screen helping out a lost traveler, who turns out to be Väinämöinen. She sets the heroes standard mythological quests for her daughter's hand, and ends up marrying her to the one the daughter actually likes. When her eldest daughter dies, she quite reasonably refuses to marry her second daughter to Ilmarinen, which prompts the heroes try to steal the bride-price. She wakes up and chases them down to get her property back, and when that's unsuccessful, Louhi then continues to fight the war the heroes clearly started through other means. Why is she evil? Because she opposes the heroes.

** One more wrinkle about the rhythm: the oral tradition that Lönnrot was drawing from, the last two syllables of each line are sung for about twice as as long as the others. The effect -- which Sibelius preserves in his crowningly awesome ''Kullervo'' -- is quite markedly different from the Longfellow version.
