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.

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.

Guinevere hiccupped and laughed loudly. “They do! I do. It has nothing to do with you. It’s my nerves. I’ve been with Arthur and no other man, and you’ve had your share of, ah, fun. What if you don’t find me suitable?”

Take an imagine the worst pain you can imagine, every paper cut you've ever had, every injury, and have it happen all at once. It would be agonising, but that’s how Pear felt.
