Medieval Romance!

I think these tales of chivalry and romance are very romantic. These men will stop at nothing to have the woman of their dreams and I think that is a great thing. They will complete all the tasks handed to them and they always come out on top. Even if they are doubted, they still will chase after the woman they're wishing for. "She is certainly as beautiful as one could wish, and if indeed you are set on making her your queen, I suppose that you must do so, although many more as beautiful, and more happily destined, could be found," (Le Monte D'Arthur, 57). I love this quote because it is explaining how much Arthur wants to be with Gwynevere but it would be extremely hard for him to be with her. Merlin suggests Arthur to find another woman but Arthur knows that she is the only one he wants, no matter what it takes. This is what true love really is!
