2.14.11

I really liked //Lanval.// I thought it was a beautiful piece of writing. It reminded me a lot of //Aladdin// and //Romeo and Juilet// because of what seemed to be a forbidden love between Lanval and the queen. I liked that in the end Lanval knew by continuing this affair he was not only jeopardizing his loyalty to his king but jeopardizing his life and essientailly ended things with the queen. I thought Lanval was going to be executed because of what he had said to the queen after he ended things with her and because of the queen accusing him for being gay, but was relieved that he was acquitted and released to ride off into the sunset with his true love, a beautiful maiden.
