Consider
the common elements of these tales--can you isolate formulae,
themes, relationships, attitudes? How are fictional
lovers portrayed; in other words, how is the complexity
of human psychology reduced to a few salient, fictionalized

their social and political roles?
In Lanval,
why does the Fairy Queen live in a tent and not in a castle? |
