** Teudelinga, the Lombard queen in the play ''Agilulf the Wise'' goes from a mild mannered and happy woman in the second act to a mad harpy in the last one, when she understands how she got tricked in her own bed. She ends up nearly destroying her own chamber maid by sending her to a DirtyOldMan of the clergy, and would have succeeded, had not the king intervened by killing said clergyman.

* PsychologicalHorror: He was quite good at this. His description of "mental monsters" is pure Lovecraftian storytelling - a man haunted by his own inner eldritch to the point where he has to kill himself, or get to terms with his own guilt. Quite chilling.

* CultureClash: He wrote a lot about this, proposing the theory that culture clashes actually produced art. A child of his time, he was quite into the "race mix" of northern and southern elements that had created the Italian people. He also wrote a number of short stories about the difference between northern (Norwegian) and southern (Italian) mentality - setting a number of Norwegian "tourists" in Italy. In his time, many northerners went to Italy for inspiration and for seeing the sights (and painting them).

'''Hans Ernst Kinck''' (1865-1926) was a [[NorwegianMedia Norwegian Author]], essayist and playwright of the symbolist school. He is usually compared to, and overshadowed by, Creator/KnutHamsun, with whom he sparred intellectually, corresponded in his early career, and later mocked intensely in one of his short stories. When regarding the political developments in Europe, the two became polar opposites, because Hamsun embraced fascism while Kinck sternly warned against it.
Kinck was born in Northern Norway, and had to move around a great deal because his father was a country doctor who got assignments in different parts of the country. This gained Kinck some insights in rural Norway, both the valley of Setesdal and the fjords of Hardanger. Later, he would exploit this in his stories and novels (and even his plays). He studied Latin, and took his degrees on Norwegian medieval literature before turning fully to writing. The MiddleAges became important to him, and he spent many years abroad, especially UsefulNotes/{{Italy}} which became a second homeland to him. Although, after the 1922 fascist coup, he sadly admitted he did not like to go there anymore. Kinck wrote non stop, and delivered his last novel to print only two days before his death.
!! Tropes found in the works of Kinck:
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Many, many times. Kinck often took sides with the oppressed, the loner against the many. His first novel is especially clear on this: Ivar, the main character, is subject to bullying all his life, and eventually goes insane.
* AuthorAppeal: Medieval Italy, or renaissance Italy. He had a knack of stealing plotlines from Literature/GiovanniBoccaccio, and expanded the stories from comedy to pure tragedy.
* HistoryDomainCharacter: Creator/NiccoloMachiavelli, ''Pietro Aretino'' - both of them got a play, and a lot of essays. He also wrote a historical play on the subject of the Lombard king Agilulf. Heck, ''all'' of the characters in the Machiavelly play is historical domain. He also planned to write a play over the fate of Giordano Bruno.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: If the loner does not succumb to angst and insanity, he turns against the mob, plotting for some kind of revenge.
* LoveableRogue: Some of his main characters fall into this category. Most important of those is the main character of ''The Herdsman''.
* LoveMartyr: Shows up a lot in his short stories.
* SlobsVersusSnobs: More accurately the Norwegian farmers pitted against their betters (the ruling system). In a jarring sequence, the farmers actually break in and smashes the bailiff´s grand piano to pieces.
* WomanScorned: Hoo boy, and they take killings in stride. Some of them get pure sadists because of this.
* Yandere: Some of the women turn out to be this.
