There is one film, however, that does look to portray chivalry is a more historical light than First Knight and King
Medieval literature shows the change of heroes throughout centuries. For the English medieval times, two story’s heroes stand out: Le Morte d'Arthur’s Lancelot and Beowulf’s Beowulf. Lancelot, the patient, humble, and chivalrous knight, is contrasted by Beowulf, a boastful, proud, and rowdy viking. It clearly shows how stories have changed in their depiction of protagonists. Both Beowulf and Lancelot are great warriors and leaders but that is where their similarities end.
Kiley Stone Professor Weinzapfel English 2322 11 June 2018 Legends of King Arthur Research Response: Sir Galahad Sir Galahad was the son of Sir Launcelot and Elaine of Corbenic. According to legends, his upbringing into the world was deceitful due to his mother Elaine. Tales have been told detailing his father; Sir Launcelot’s passion for King Arthur's queen; Queen Guinevere. At the time Sir Launcelot and Queen Guinevere had been secretly hiding their love for eachother. Elaine; who had fallen in love with Sir Launcelot through the many stories she was told; and her father, King Pelles’, used Sir Launcelot’s secret love as a way to fulfill their own desires.
While in “Lancelot and Queen Guinevere” keeping their secret to a King who is already married to a Queen that Lancelot loves, for me that is already cheating, King Arthur, gathered 12 knights just to catch Lancelot and Queen Guinevere in bed, and Lancelot tried to escape, because of the rumors that made Lancelot to challenge to dispute the charge before they are caught being together in bed. I prefer “Romeo and Juliet” when it comes to the connection of the theme between the two literary pieces, despite of all the difficulties they’ve been though, they still hold on to each
Courtly love in the medieval romance story of Lancelot (also known as The Knight of the Cart) is the driving force of this famous romance beloved for generations. This proves to be an interesting subject, seeing is a lot of other medieval stories do not focus on love and instead, show it in a rather negative light. This was obviously seen in another medieval story, Njal’s Saga, where not only were marriages arranged and sometimes unwanted by one or both parties, the relationships between men and women were rought with conflict, hatred, and sometimes even murder. The women were not beautiful, diminutive, helpless creatures; they were as strong as their male counterparts. Men also had relatively no interest in love, only of going on grand adventures
When we are forgotten, we cease to exist. Throughout the centuries the legends of King Arthur are told both as fable and non-fiction. Though every story has the same concept, each story differs in some way. Most characters reappear in each legend, but may have a different role in the story. Characters such as Guinevere, Merlin, Lancelot, and Arthur's knights show up in every story.
In Lancelot, the Knight of the Cart, the major theme around this famous story written by Chretien de Troyes, is romance. Of a knight who fell in love with Queen Guinevere, of whom is married to King Arthur, and who Lancelot was sworn to protect, and to always tell the truth; even if this meant costing their lives. Thus, creating a dilemma for a normal person, but Lancelot would have no trouble doing everything it takes even risking his life multiple times to be with who he loves. Lancelot would prove his love to Queen Guinevere by doing everything that she would ask of him, showing that only she could control him; in which he could be an unstoppable force not to be reckoned with.
I definitely had agree with Guinevere. Let 's admire the little differences and try to form a connection with people of different heritage and traditions. In families we all have our different traditions and we gain some and we lose some observing the many qualities could bring out new traditions for the future and for generations to come. There 'll always be individuals who disagree with the topic but I myself might feel that they are in a little box afraid of the inevitable cultural changes surrounding us.

They felt they would only hurt more people by saying they were married. Act 2 scene 2 line 70 “If they see you they’ll murder you”. This shows that they were so scared that they fought so much so they kept it a secret so the other would not be killed. This shows they unleashed their demise because their parents inspired this fear. This reminds me a lot of when I had done things for my father because I was scared of him making me scared to do anything.
