    Enchantment In Lanval

    Lanval by Marie de France follows the story of an enigmatic woman who romances the protagonist of the story, a desolate knight named Lanval. Their short love is intense, yet largely unexplained. Analyzing the elements of character between the woman and Lanval force the reader to challenge the conventional role of enchantment in a story. This concept alters our conclusions about not only their relationship, but relationships in our own world as well. While Lanval may seem happy at first, this essay will seek to demonstrate that the enchantment of the woman has grave consequences no only for Lanval, but also the whole of the Arthurian court.…

"Because love ordered it, and wished it, he jumped in; since Love ruled his action, the disgrace did not matter." (212) There seemed to have been nothing that could stand in the path of Lancelot.…
