Hide
your kids, hide your wife, and hide your husband because Lancelot(AKA:
reincarnated Equitan) is snatchin' everybody out here!!!
Can we talk about the fact that Lancelot just pulled the
exact same move as king Equitan by taking the love of queen Guinevere from her
king Arthur? Courtly love just cannot stay away from these people, luckily I
just wrote to MY king about this issue!! Although it cannot go without
mentioning the endless courage and independence that Lancelot had to acquire
that love. ENDLESS injuries this man took! Breaking bars in order to get down
to the good stuff? Crossing sword bridges and taking off his in order to GET
injuries to prove himself? That's a real man right there. You would not find
this man dying from a feet-first dive into boiling water!
Also what was getting on my nerves were the constant mind
changes that queen Guinevere made when Lancelot had been confronted with the
decision to hop in the cart, she was upset for his hesitation? Why? It is not
exactly easy to make that kind of decision to be publically shamed. But when it
was all said and done she just forgave him for his decision. And then she told Lancelot
to start to lose to prove that he loves her, and then goes "okay okay
never mind go win this fight!!" this girl needs to make up her mind.
Lancelot not only has the strength and courage of no other, but also the
restraint that surpasses anyone for having not flipped out on Guinevere.
The final bloodshed of the final battle was one to behold
and how we finally did not have to wait for whatever could possibly go wrong
and keep us reading another twenty pages. Honestly I was surprised that
Lancelot was not the first one to lose an arm or even a leg between any other
character in this story.
This story really was a fascinating read, although it
took every ounce of energy within me to read its entirety. If we continue this
path of all of these stories has taken us, I think we will have the immortal
knight among the mortal competitors and falls in love with the mortal with
goddess-like charm, otherwise known as Hercules?? Whaaaaa?
You are right overall. As it seemed, it was a very long text that was, overall, confusing. Queen Guinevere was an obnoxious little brat. You can tell by her actions throughout, and how she had a somewhat "Bi-polar" personality. It was probably her ovaries controlling her mindset. Great comparison to Hercules, although we are way passed the time period of immortality being considered a thought or, even, a prayer.
ReplyDeleteLancelot is not allowed to hesitate or flip out on her because of Love. Love means not hesitating and not flipping out. However, I agree that everything Lancelot accomplished and did was so unrealistic it became very annoying. Like couldn’t he just be human and normal for a second?
