Love In Camelot, Book Two: What Endure
Sir Perceval and his wife, Joan, take a honeymoon months after their hasty wedding. What is meant to be a romantic respite turns out to be a disaster.

They return home to Camelot, recovering from the damage wrought by the vicious Picts of the North, but are swept up in the preparations for Sir Ulrich and Carina's much-anticipated nuptials.

Meanwhile, King Arthur and Queen Guinevere wrestle with a decision about what to do regarding an heir. After four years of marriage, the queen had not conceived. Thus, King Arthur turns to one of his loyal knights to make an unthinkable request.

Tales of Love in Camelot, Book Two: What Endures takes a deep look into the hearts and bedchambers of Camelot's knights, king, and loyal subjects. Nothing is

    Magic In A Midsummer Night's Dream

    In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare is telling the readers that, love needs no reason to exist; it defies logic and ignores all circumstances. This compelling message is very thoroughly communicated with the connection of the fantasy world and reality. The connection occurs in a forest, where each character of significance is, at one point, present. Here, the characters experience unforeseen events, as a result of the debatable use of magic, from those in power. However, despite the extreme unusualness and complications, the characters challenge the circumstances, and persist in loving the one they feel closest to. In this play, this situation is best represented by three significant relationships. The first exists between a lover and her hater, the next involves a young and rebellious couple, and the last concerns an ill-fated mechanical and the queen of the fairies.…

    Lancelot's Identity In Sir Gawain '

    Later, though, we see another contradictory form of Love. When Lancelot crosses the sword-blade bridge, he takes off his shoes and faces the blade. He endures much pain and suffering, but then Love helps him and turns "his pain to pleasure" (ll. 3120) This shows that while Love has the potential to cause pain, it can also heal. Another facet of Love is it's power over men. It is described as the most potent weakness of man. One knight cries out that he would "rather strip [his] shield of every buckle and strap, and lose all faith in [himself]...than give up this girl [he] loves." (ll. 1725 - 1730) Lancelot himself is ashamed when one of the many women he encounters on his trip sees him weakened by Love's grip (ll. 1454-55). Love causes him to be so sad that for a moment, "the blood in his face disappeared, and his mouth could not move. The girl slipped from her horse and ran to his side as fast as she could, to hold him up and keep him from falling." (ll. 1440-46) Clearly, Love has an especially strong hold on Lancelot. So strong is it that after the false news of Guinevere's death, Lancelot haphazardly attempts suicide. Finally, one last theme of Love is that Love conquers all. Love can transcend any boundaries, including of course, the adulterous relationship between Lancelot and Guinevere. Their relationship seems pure because Lancelot is so immersed in…

    Rebecca - Creative Response

    I heard the murmur of their voices as I crossed the hall; the newly wedded couple had just sat down for dinner together, they had arrived only an hour ago. I entered the room to see Rebecca, her dark ash-brown hair, flowing like silk as it trailed down behind her dainty, gentle shoulders. I just couldn’t help to think, what kind of woman she was. I set down the plates, not speaking a word to either Sir or the new Madam; I was not in a position to talk to either of them, as that was not my responsibility. Madame, was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She seemed so comfortable being herself. She was so lovely, so accomplished, so amusing. This was my first meeting with her, and already I was in awe of her. She had the perfect breeding to be Sir’s wife, she was incredibly beautiful and as time went I on, I realised she had the brains and confidence to outwit anyone. She was entirely different to the second Mrs De Winter.…

    Acts of loyalty appear multiple times in both tales as the characters are tested and tried through each event. In Andrea Hopkins's compilation the Chronicles of King Arthur, Arthur's loyalty to the Camelot and the ideals that built it are constantly scrutinized as his wife, Guinevere, has an affair with his noblest of knights, Lancelot. He knows of this happening, but chooses to ignore the acts, knowing that the public attacks from it could internally lead…

    my short journal

    It was February, 12th in 1812, the season in London was coming in a fortnight.I woke up in the morning and cleaned myself with hot water that Letty, one of our housekeeper had prepared for me. I brushed my hair while wandering outside the window imagining how interesting the season would be since I will be making my debut during the upcoming season. I got downstairs to the dining hall just to find that everybody in the house had go out with their own occasions. Daddy and Mama were giving a visit to our estate where else Johnny, my older brother had keeping himself busy in his office since he will be taking over Daddy's place after I get betrothed after the season. I could feel butterfly flying in my stomach when suddenly the word 'betrothed' hit my mind.…
