Post #6 - Why People Love Medival Romance, and Arthurian Legend

Medieval Times, one of the best times to live if you ask me. Knights, unnecessary violence, and chivalry was not yet dead. Many people wonder how the stories from these time periods have lasted so long, and those reasons I stated earlier are the exact reasons. People love, love and violence for some reason it is a thing that we seem attracted too that pulls us in a keeps up reading on and on for thousands of years.
For instance the one story we read was about chivalry. This story is Sir Gawain and Lady Ragnell, Sir Gawain must be chivalrous to all ladies in the land, and he goes to court Lady Ragnell even though she is hideous and most likely obese. But he is very polite and kind to her and he let's her do all her wishes and desires and by doing this and by giving her all of her free will, he breaks the curse on Lady Ragnell and she becomes beautiful.
Next is a story about hope and how things even if by accident can come out of no where, The Sword and The Stone. Where King Arthur is walking around trying to find his masters sword, and find this sowrd in the stone and he pulls it out when no other knights can. All knights are trying to pull it out all of these very strong muscular people cannot pull it out of the stone and then this young weaker boy comes and some how ( I think with Merlins magic) can pull out the sword and become king of all the land.
My final story that I enjoyed was The Candle in the Wind, because this shows true friendship and trust between people, especially when Arthur dies because he then tells them to ride with the candle every night, and he does this. Also, when he tells the knight to throw the sword into the lake back to the lady. Even though he does not do it on the first few tries, he still obeys Arthurs dying wish which shows true friendship.
Now for my movie example, I am choosing Monty Python and the Holy Grail. This is obviously a silly little spoof on all of the stories, but it shows all of them decently in a more appeasing way for viewers. It shows all of the things I have talked about just with a few more laughs.
These are my four reasons why I think that people love medival writing, and why Arthurian Legends have lasted the test of time.
