2. Risk playing out in the sub-story: page 77-”The window was barred with iron…” Shows narrator’s desprite desire to get to her, no matter the cost or barriers.
Page 78- “Many times has your lord, my King…” Shows his faithfulness in rescuing her, even if it means fighting the King, her husband.
Page 78- “That you were married to someone else meant nothing to me.” Risk in adultery and persecution in pursuit of true love.
Page 79- “I saved you from the fire, but the fire I could not put out was burning at our feet.” The love the narrator pursues and is experiencing with the lover is harmful and dangerous.
Page 81- “Death will shatter me, but in love’s service I have been shattered many times.” Risk to be hurt to love.
Page 81- “There was a day I remember…” Battling danger, weariness, and the lover’s captors the narrator traveled to set her free.
I think that like the narrator of the sub-story, the writer of the story is also looking for love and risking a lot for it. He is constantly searching for something/someone, like Lancelot is searching for Guenivere. Relating to the next chapter I think that it shows how Lancelot and Guenivere’s love is a story that shouldn’t have happened.
I’m still thinking of how it relates to me as a reader.
3. In the sub-story, Search, I agree that as the writer is searching for something or someone, Lancelot too is searching for Guenivere, a risk that could result in ruin and unfulfilment.
I don’t know, I’m really bad at the preliminary stuff…I think we should throw some ideas around in groups tomorrow?? that would be good.
