Freya And Merlin's Wedding Alternate Ending

Her marriage to Arthur is an arranged marriage, so she didn’t have any say in the decision. Although she is married to Arthur, she also has affections for Sir Lancelot. ‘“Why do you think I am any more happy or contented than you?’ she demanded, her voice shaking. ‘At least you can choose whether to stay or to go, but I was given into Arthur's hands without even so much as 'will you or no?' Nor can I rise and ride forth from court when things go not to my will, but must stay here within walls and do what is expected of me ... if you must go, I cannot say, Stay; and if you stay, I cannot say to you, Go! At least you are free to go or to stay as makes you happiest!’" (The Mists of Avalon). She loves Arthur as well as Lancelot, but her love for Lancelot is romantic, unlike Arthur’s. Guinevere is also childish in a sense that she lets lust override her loyalty to Arthur. She ignores the guilt she feels for her affair with Lancelot and constantly craves to be with him. Her love for Sir Lancelot causes her to make bad decisions and they affect everyone around her. Guinevere’s lust blinds her and contributes to Arthur’s

Queen Guinevere’s character was more about being royal and doing as she wanted. She was married to King Arthur. She was above all of the wrongs that she has done and shows no signs of sadness, even when she is sad (page 632). She has an affair with Sir Launcelot without King Arthur knowing about it. She causes conflicts among the knights and the King. Both men are so in love with Queen Guinevere. Sir Launcelot throughout the story does battle for Queen Guinevere, while showing King Arthur his loyalty.

The Queen Guinevere's pride was wounded when she gets rejected by Lanval. Queen Guinevere offers herself to Lanval saying he could have anything he desires. Lanval rejects her by telling her he won't betray his king and that he

“What,” James asked him as Mabel handed him a cup of water. Angus took a big gulp of the drink and exhaled.

Instead of pondering Mithian’s offer of sex, Arthur’s thoughts turned to Guinevere, as they often did during times of stress and tumult. A part of him hated her for not being there with him right now, while another part was satisfied with her banishment.

Not only does Lancelot’s affair with Guinevere cause him a great deal of suffering, it wreaks havoc on the lives of many other men as well. For instance, their affair brings tragedy to Sir Gawain and his family. Lancelot kills Gawain’s innocent brothers, Sir Gaheris and Sir Gareth, while rescuing the queen from being executed for adultery. Sir Gawain consequently instigates a blood feud against Lancelot that will eventually lead to his own death. King Arthur and his

Gawain however will not coward out and will remain loyal to the agreement and shrugs off the warning. He eventually runs into the Green Chapel and calls out for the Green Knight. The Green Knight takes three swings at Gawain purposefully missing the first two, and then nipping the neck of Gawain on the third blow. Gawain, not harmed, arose and requested to fight the Green Knight drawing his sword. The Green Knight says he didn’t want to fight only because Gawain has fulfilled the agreement already. He explains that he spared Gawain the first two times for receiving the kisses back from him but the third blow was for not returning the Green Girdle he received. Gawain was thankful and explained that women were the reason for men’s downfall giving examples. The Green Knight introduces himself as Lord Bertilak and explained the Old lady whose face was covered was his Aunt Morgan Le Fay, Merlin’s apprentice, and that he had a spell cast on him. He says the main reason he came to King Arthur’s court was Morgan Le Fay’s plan to scare Queen Guinevere to death. He asked Gawain to come and stay at his castle because he is loved there but he declines and rides back to Camelot with The Girdle under his left arm to show that he committed fault to enemies back along the way as well as the

"I quite like him. He tells wonderful stories, he is funny and he seems a true friend." She continued as if he had not spoken. "How did you two meet?"

“I hope this isn’t too forward,” he said, “but would you care to stay for some mead?”

Lanval stays loyal to his promise until Queen Guinevere confesses her interest in him, offering herself to him in which he then he delicately rejects her. Speaking his loyalty to King Arthur. Angry, she blames him of being homosexual, Lanval, because of Queen Guinevere’s accusation says, “The poorest girl of all, is better than you, my lady queen, in body, face, and beauty.” The queen asking to be involved in an adulterous relationship is not seen as ideal behavior for modern women or for twelfth century women. During this time men were commonly known for being dishonest and unfaithful, therefore, to have this woman do this, definitely was a different direction than expected. Hurt by the rejection and statement of Lanval, Queen Guinevere tells King Arthur that Lanval came onto her. Arthur upset at the situation orders that Lanval be sent to court where if he could not prove that such a woman existed more beautiful than his beloved queen, he shall be

The film King Arthur differs in a great propensity with the traditional Arthurian tale. The elements which represent the medieval society and which forms the key aspect of the traditional tale, have not been included. The Holy Grail, a vital motif that is persistent in the traditional tale of King Arthur is dropped from the cinematic representation of the tale. The film differs from the tale on multitudinous accounts, for instance there is an absence of the love affair between Lancelot and Guinevere in the movie. Moreover, the film chooses to not include Camelot, Avalon and Mordred. Important characters like Mordred, the archetypical villain in the traditional tale of King Arthur is not ascribed to any significance in the film. The character of Guinevere is indispensable in the Arthurian legend as well as in the movie. However, the very characteristic of Guinevere is represented in a dynamically polar opposite fashion in both the traditional tale of King Arthur and the movie. Contrary to the ancient tale, Guinevere is no damsel in distress in the movie. The representation of Guinevere in the movie as a warrior queen who partakes in the war along with King Arthur is emblematic as it does not depict the character of a woman in the light of the gender typicality. It is an important alteration that the movie chooses to make from the traditional tale.

The legend of Queen Guinevere is one of deep love and heavy heartbreak. It always ends in betrayal and death. However, the love story within is one of greatest told. She was married to King Arthur of Britain (“Guinevere.” Compton’s). However, she was not in love with him. She loved someone else named Sir Lancelot. He was King Arthur’s closest knight (“Guinevere.”

Merlin is not yet a romance magician in Geoffrey's work: the few feats later expanded into mighty demonstrations of magic are not so in Geoffrey. Merlin disguises Uther as Gorlois for his rendevous with Igerne using "medicamenta," which could include

    His emotions get the best of him. When Merlin told him that he shouldn’t love Guinevere because she will bring the end to Arthur’s kingdom and then she did (p.46). He always lets his feelings take charge of his decisions even though he shouldn’t be letting them overcome the decision of his people and his court. (...) “King Leodegraunce, who had a beautiful daughter called Guinevere; and Arthur loved Guinevere the moment he saw her, and for thinking of her could hardly rest or eat when he came home to Camelot.(...) ‘A man of your bounty and nobleness should not be without a wife, nor should the realm of Logres lack a queen... But tell me now is there any princess whom you love more than another?’ ‘Yes indeed there is,’ said Arthur. ‘I love Guinevere, King Leodegraunce’s daughter. And she is the fairest, sweetest, loveliest, and purest maiden in all the world. Her will I wed, or die a bachelor!’ ‘Certainly she is among the fairest,’ said Merlin. ‘Yet I would that you loved another; for by her very beauty shall come the end of Logres’ (...). Even though Merlin warns Arthur about the danger of him marrying Guinevere and Arthur refuses to listen to his advisor and this decision did bring the end to the realm of Logres.

“Yes.” she answered blankly. At first sight, the man standing in front of her wasn’t impressive, nor a surprise.
