Eadlyn: The Temporary Queen Of Illea

300 years after the Draconequi Alicorn war, middle aged Alicorn Queen named Poison Heart ruled an obscure kingdom just beyond the Everfree forest called the Monarch kingdom. Her kingdom was surrounded by pure majesty as crystals in the shape of flowers grew naturally throughout her land. She ruled her kingdom with 100% loyalty from her subjects; she didn’t believe in violence so never trained any pony to hurt another. The only fighting she knew consisted of only defensive spells, and stances to help protect her kingdom from dangers. Only during times of war, which was rare since they had few enemies, she would use the spell learnt through destiny and poison the heart of her enemies. This spell would turn them against themselves and corrupt

Eliduc is a knight who is involved in a love triangle in Marie de France’s, “Eliduc”. In the beginning, we find out about his wife, Guildeluec. At first, Marie de France makes us think that Eliduc is this super important knight who serves the king of Brittany.

The situation that Penelope had found herself in for twenty years was not a comfortable one. Despite the lack of her husband, she single-handedly raised her son into a fine man and maintained her and her husband’s status in the kingdom. She always kept good fidelity with her spouse, even when she had one-hundred suitors lined up for her. Always calm, always level-headed, even in the event of her husband’s possible return she still remains composed. “Don’t laugh, don’t cry in triumph- not yet. You know how welcome the sight of him would be to all in the house, and to me most of all and the son we bore together…” (23, 66-68). Penelope proves time and time again that she is a capable and powerful female

Elya had nothing to offer in exchange for her hand and was exceedingly distressed. When Madame Zeroni heard Elya speak of his love for Myra she was infuriated but even more so when she heard of Elya’s nuptial plans. Madame Zeroni had great hopes for him, she yearned for him to go to America and make something of himself. She had told him “Like my son. That’s where your future lies. Not with Myra Menke.” (p.30) Irritated, Madame Zeroni strived vigorously to convince Elya against marriage to Myra “...can she milk a cow? No... Can she have an intelligent conversation? No... Can she look after you when you are sick? No......... She is silly and foolish...So she is beautiful, so what?”(p.30). Madame Zeroni was exceptionally aggravated, she didn’t stop there with the defamations, she even told him Myra’s head was ‘as empty as a flower pot,’ (p.29) but Myra’s futility was inconspicuous to Elya who was only fifteen, immature and naive. Madam Zeroni ostracized seeing Elya dejected and against her better judgement she decided to help him. She gave him a piglet and instructed him to carry the piglet up the mountain and sing to

The public is openly perplexed by the swift change from the expected events. Because of the well-known order of Helena’s father, Egeus, it was nearly certain that Helena was to marry Demetrius. However, it was rumored that Hermia actually loved Lysander. A witness on the scene claims he saw these two lovers planning to run away together into the forest. What transpired in the woods is an utter mystery. Too many puzzling rumors float through the air to decipher what really happened. The most popular story came from the four young lovers themselves. However, “’tis strange... that these lovers speak of,” (143). Their unbelievable story of magic and fairies does not fool most. Everyone knows “the lunatic, the lover, and the poet are of imagination all compact,” (143). We may never know what really happened in there. All we know is the lovers Lysander and Hermia, who was expected to marry Demetrius, entered the forest one night followed by Demetrius and Helena, Hermia’s friend who loved Demetrius (a rumor widely known to the public). And several days later, all four emerged as a pair of married couples. Now, Lysander and Hermia, Demetrius and Helena, and King Theseus and Queen Hippolyta are all happily married.

When he realizes she provides Eilert with the medium for his suicide, he blackmails her into becoming his mistress in exchange for protection from scandal.

When big sister is only seventeen years old, she is arranged to marry Samuel who is already thirty-one, almost twice her age. Her life is “about to take a ghastly turn”, “to be taken out of school and thrust into the arms of a stranger”. Parents think that it is not necessary for girls to go to school and ordered them to marry a man, normally much older than her and because of this, Adeline is not allow to go to the university in England like big brother and second brother.

While we expect symmetrical pairings to emerge between these four in order to achieve happiness, the system is not without its own inherent flaws. Hermia must choose a single lover, which is to say that the “happy ending” hinges upon the unhappiness of the man who is not chosen.

Being at the bottom of the hierarchy, Eveline’s only means of escape is a man who will take her hand in marriage.
