Answer:

                                    For the Motion Lord Ullin's daughter was right in her decision to defy her father. Love is very essential for life. It is a gift of God. It is not something that is at someone's command. She knew what was good for her. She loved the Chieftain very much. So, she eloped with her lover and nothing was wrong in their eloping as her father would have not slain them. Love is something that must not be denied at any cost, Lord Ullin could not understand the mood of the changing times . His daughter took the risk that her father would kill her lover. To me nothing was wrong in Lord Ullin's daughter defying her father. If she had been wrong, her father would not have asked her to return. She thought it better to sacrifice her own life for her love. Against the Motion Lord Ullin's daughter was not right in her decision to defy her father. Parents know what is good for their children and they love their children. She should have thought that her step would spoil the reputation of her family. In this kind of situation, a girl should always talk to her parents. The parents have got better experience of life. It is the moral duty of the children to respect the feelings and emotions of their parents. But Lord Ullin's daughter did something wrong in defying her father. She also ruined their social status. She should have persuaded her father and sorted out the matter.
