Post #5 - Medival Story Opinion

So far many of these stories that we have read are interesting and filled with enough drama to at least keep the class entertained, or why else would we read?! But my favorite so far has to be, Sir Gawain and Lady Ragnell. Just because of the fact that there is so much chivalry that Gawain shows, instead of wanting her for his own selfish needs he is polite to her and this breaks the curse. "It is a choice I cannot make, my dear Ragnell. It concerns you. Whatever you choose to be -- fair by day or by night -- I will willingly abide by it." (Unknown 24) So by being polite to her, and giving her free will he breaks the spell that was placed on her, and she is beautiful all the time instead of night or day. So this shows that chivalry was very important back then for the knights to be always polite and courteous to a lady no matter what the circumstances.
