After reading
The Fair Maid Of Astolat, I really come to hate reading stories of Lancelot. They are always the same thing; Lancelot meets a woman and she take one look at him and BAM, she loves him to death -literally in some cases. Lancelot reminds me of Ryan Gosling in the movie Crazy Stupid Love, he's a player that needs to get his heart broken.

On another note I really like that Malory gave Sir Lavayne some ability. It takes a pretty good knight to take on ten knights of the the round table. Also, I just really like his name it's different, which is cool.
Overall when I think of this story I think of
A Knight's Tale and how William Thatcher gets wounded when he takes a token from Jocelyn. I do like this story even though it is painful to read about Lancelot's adventures.
Even though I too am a little tired of Lancelot, I feel like this class wouldn't be the same if he were only mentioned three or four times.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Khyle...reading one Lancelot story after another after another is like beating a dead horse. All the same, with one or two options to pick from for an ending. No wonder Lancelot was such a player. He could have any woman her wanted (including the Queen, obviously).
