“Do you ever wonder silly things?” Astra asked, staring into the black sky. “All the time. What kinds of things do you wonder princess?” Chróma said. “I wonder what it would be like to paint the night sky.” Astra said. Chróma thought about this. “I would love to paint the sky with you.” she said in response. Neither one of them said anything for the rest of the night as they drifted off into sleep. In the morning they woke rather unpleasantly to a cyclops looming over them his large head blocked the sun from their view his single eye in the middle of his face glared down at them.

    Penelope seemed like the epitome of a loyal wife in The Odyssey. She waited years for Odysseus to return, only marrying when it became a necessity. Penny however, not only chose to get married, but she told Ulysses’s daughters that he died in a train accident so she could cover up the fact that he was in prison. Even with that discrepancy, Penny and Penelope both chose to marry for their children. Penelope decided she needed to choose a suitor, so the suitors would leave. She believed that her son, Telemakhos, needed to start his own life, and her marrying would allow him to live in peace. Penny needed someone to provide for her seven daughters. When Ulysses incredulously asked about her engagement, she replied “I gotta think of the Wharvey gals! They look to me for answers!” (O…art thou) Similarly, Penny and Penelope both needed convincing before they returned to their husbands. When Odysseus had returned, Penelope believed a suitor disguised as Odysseus . To test him, Penelope asked one of the maids to move their bed into the hallway so Odysseus could sleep in it. Odysseus became enraged because the bed was carved in an oak tree that grew through the bedroom, therefore rendering it immovable. Penny knew that only Odysseus would know this, so she welcomed him back. Ulysses disguised himself as a poor musician, snuck…

    The Lady of Landuc’s actions were a consequence of Yvain's dishonorable oath on courtly love. Yvain married The Lady of Landuc saying, “I’m wholly yours; I’ve pledged today to yield to you and to obey all your commands.”(Bédier, 1973, p. 56) Yvain’s pledge is relevant because it plays a major significance later when he neglects her. Yvain ignored his oath completely when she commanded him to come back to her within a year of fighting for his pride of self-reputation as the best knight. Yvain became aware of how he overstayed and his lady sent a maid to take what she had given him to protect him in battle, “The ring will be your mail and shield.” (Bédier, 1973, p. 73) When the maid confronts Yvain she accuses him of treachery and makes it clear…
