    Both authors want to relate with there audience, therefore they use relatable events to do so. In Arthurian Romances De Troyes relates to the audience by portraying courtly play in the punishment of Guinevere. In the Middle Ages readers were intrigued by violence and brutality, which directly correlated with Guinevere being burned at the stake. De Troyes uses the phrase, “Offenders were punished / By being set in the cart / And driven up and down / The town. Their reputations / were lost, and the right to be present / At court; they lost all honor / And joy. Everyone knew / What carts were for, and feared them”( Chrétien, lines 333-339). This quote portrays a part of the punishment, and also brings forth a sense of guilt in Guinevere and Lancelot; this is what enticed the readers. Moreover, in King Arthur Goodrich relates to the modernist audience by using an abducted and victimized Guinevere to relate with a society that is facing similar issues. The audience feels empathy for characters, because they have been through the same problem, and in turn do not see the harm in her adultery with Lancelot. Furthermore, both authors altered their stories to relate with the time period they were writing in. They also differed in their perspective of the way in which Guinevere was to be perceived both in the…
