So, I accidentally posted for 3/27 The Knight of the Cart and not The Knight's Tale...this is awkward.
Being perfectly honest, I'm a bit confused with the beginning. Exactly what happened with Palamon and Arcite? It sounded like they were on Death's door, but then were imprisoned? Did I read that correctly? And am I right in thinking they lived because they were related to the previous ruler as they are both cousins, yes? So very confused.
Know what I'm not confused about?
Freaking love at first sight. Seriously. We all know how this is going to go. At least one of them is going to die - can't be having a love triangle up in here. But seriously, leave the poor woman alone. She's just minding her own business, and both Palamon and Arcite are like, "
le gasp A beautiful maiden walking before me after all this time in jail? My heart's suddenly beating really fast. Must be my one true love!"
And then Arcite gets the freak outta jail and is moaning about how unlucky he is to no longer be imprisoned, but his life sucks because he can't see the pretty lady. Know what this reminds me of? Fucking Achilles.
Jesus, I have so many feelings about men acting like absolute babies when they can't have the woman they "fell in love" with/ the woman that's "theirs" because ultimately, Palamon and Arcite fight over Emelye, and the poor woman's like, "Please no. Leave me out of this. I just want to run around the forest all day and be free."
Can. We. Not.
