Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

Love is another long running theme in this novel, whether it's lust or love, that might be harder to say. The main love story that is discussed is the never-ending love between Lancelet and Gwenhwyfar. Do you think this is true love? Why or why not? Why do you feel this relationship exists in the story? What is its purpose? What do you think would have happened if they had gotten together in the first place?

Essay Topic 2

Betrayal is rampant in this story. Cite three to five examples of betrayal in this story and explain why each was either a good thing or a bad thing in relation to the progress of the story. Can betrayal ever be a good thing? Why or why not?

Essay Topic 3

Making promises is something that doesn't seem to work in this story. Cite three different times when a promise was made, but was then broken. What do you think this says about the characters who were involved? Should the promise have been made in the first place? Why or why not?
