So, I swear Lancelot is like a medieval version of superman. He is so invincible,
and he goes through all these fights and self-injuries and yet he can still
jump up and be ready to do it all over again. He has to be a mutant or
something to be able to bounce back from soooo many injuries.
Then when Lancelot finally
finds Guinevere she is happy for a little bit, then she gets upset because, she
is a stalker, and watched him hesitate when he was getting into the cart for
her. Then she gives him the cold shoulder and basically drives him away.
So he decides to go and try and find his friend Gawain,
but then Guinevere calls him back and apologizes to him for being so cold to
him. Then Lancelot breaks in to her tower later that night and then they spent
a passionate night together. As he is breaking into her room he injures his
hand and leaves blood all over Guinevere's sheets.
Lancelot then sneaks out of the tower before sunrise, and
Meleagant (Crazy kidnapper) accuses Guinevere of committing adultery with Kay,
because he is the only wounded knight nearby. Lancelot comes to the rescue and
challenges Meleagant to a fight to defend Guinevere’s honor. Meleagant’s father
interferes and convinces Meleagant and Lancelot to hold off their fight for a
year. Over the year, Lancelot gets tricked by another dwarf and forced to be a prisoner,
while Guinevere is allowed to return home. LIKE CANT THIS DUDE CATCH A BREAK??
When the year is
up he goes and fights, Lancelot bargains with his captors to let him go and
fight, and that he promises to return. When he finally did fight Meleagant,
Guinevere asks for him to lose to prove his love. He obliges and when he starts
to lose, Guinevere changes her proposal, now hoping for him to win. Lancelot
does what she wants and whoops Meleagant’s ass. If she really wanted him to say
“I LOVE YOU,” SHE SHOULD HAVE JUST ASKED.
.But I can honestly say he thought he
was looking fresh in that all red suit and horse matching to boot.
YES!!! Guinevere is extremely crazy. She should have saw how much Lancelot actually cared for her. He does so much, even breaking his hand to love her, and even walking across the sword bridge naked, just to find her. Yes he did hesitate to get into the cart, but, on the other hand, he had to think would this be the honorable thing to do? Lose my honor by going into the cart, just to find the Queen and return her to King Arthur? Like, C'MON Guinevere! Does he have to tattoo, "I LOVE YOU!" on his forehead?????
ReplyDeleteI can agree with you that she was somewhat of a stalker, because she did sight him hesitating to get into the cart, but, if I were in Guinevere's shoes, then I would realize that, as a knight, he did something so ludicrous and outlandish enough to get into a cart driven by the "evil dwarves."
Lancelot did tend to have a lot of bad luck through this story, and somehow managed to get through it all with ease. I think his “superman powers” showcase the love he has for the queen since he was willing to endure all of that for her. They could have cut him some slack though, we got the point.
