Let's clap it up for Queen G for jacking everything all up! She makes a grand appearance in yet another story! Of course, she puts on her big girl panties and forces Calogrenant to tell tale of a spring that makes sh*t get real! But hold on a sec let’s just analyze Queen G because I cannot let her slide. Queen G in my eyes in the epitome of beloved. She literately has men doing whatever she wants them to do. She can be a b*tch and still all the men love her.
Because,
Calogrenent ventured to this Trevi Fountain gone wrong. He was challenged by
some random guy who popped up after this tremendous storm. Homie Calo did not
come out on top after that battle though (we all probably expected him to win
and the story was like sike you thought!). BUT, it’s not over because Yvain
being super cool decide he was going to avenge Homie Calo’s terrible loss. So of
course, Yvain follows the “truths” of this tale pours the water and the stor
happens and the knight appears.
Once he appears, it is on and they start their
fight. Yvain does not stop until he is dead and, we’re all like yay he did it
but little did he know that the person he killed had a wife back at home and
she was not happy. She was in the utmost distress.
When the widower found out he husband was dead she was like…
Another
thing that I cannot let slide if the fact that this lady allowed for her
HUSBAND’S MURDERER to woo her and become lovers. Like excuse me? No no no
absolutely not. He literately tells her he is only physically attracted to her
and she’s just all for it. I do like that he is understanding in the beginning,
because she is so angry with him as she should be about the murder of her
husband. I feel like she shouldn’t have let that go so easily but, I can see
where she would have just gave in to it. Let’s take a little speculative look
at this. She has someone who defeated and KILLED her once superman husband,
whom of course she thought could not be defeated and indestructible. Also, he
respects her grieving period and copes with her anger towards him.
All of the men on page 286 are infatuated with women.
Women’s
beauty and place is portrayed heavily in this story. On page 286, we have speed
dating gone wrong situation where men were just objectifying and preying on
maidens. The men were amused by women, which is basically saying that women
were entertainment. I did not like
reading this part at all I cringed reading about women that way.
I probably shouldn't read these blog posts when I'm drinking water because that high quality clapping GIF already choked me; then, I scrolled to Nicholas Cage uprooting that tree, and let's just say...my computer could be drier. Is that your representation of the knight appearing? HAHA, India, I am dead.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, YES! QUEEN G STAYS JACKING THINGS UP. That's why I love her character in all of these romances. She's always so fun to analyze. In this story, Chretien gives us a lot to work with to analyze his characters, espiecally Yvain and his lady who, as you mentioned, GOES FOR HER HUSBAND'S MURDERER. Honestly, this detail alone could inspire such an entertaining modern day romance. I mean, I haven't read any romances where someone starts dating the person who killed his or her spouse. Of course this detail makes us go crazy as readers, but that's the point! Kudos to you Chretien. I like the craziness.
