Thralls

Thralls, in a general context, refer to individuals who are enslaved or in bondage, often without personal freedom or autonomy. Historically, the term has been used in various cultures to describe people who were forced to serve others, usually in harsh conditions. In Norse mythology, thralls were typically the lowest social class, often performing labor for their masters. The concept of thralls can also relate to broader discussions about power dynamics, servitude, and the ethical implications of ownership over another person's life. Today, it can sometimes be used metaphorically to describe a state of dependency or lack of freedom.
