Questions from Ryan and Anthony for "The Knight with the Lion (Yvain)" (Day Three / pp. 353-380)

1.Yvain gains a new identity known as the knight and the
lion, Why does he need a new identity?

2. Do you see anything problematic about the fight betweenthe sisters and their choosing of a knight? How do they goabout choosing their knight? Why do they need to?

3. Yvain and Laudine meet again at the end, What kind ofreconciliation is this then?

4. Why do you think that Chrétien can only give us hisname at the end?

  1. 1. Yvain gains a new identity because he wants a new beginning and he wants his lover back so he is just going through life battling and defending whoever needs help which makes him a new person with the addition of the lion.
    3. Yvain and Laudine meet again and their reconciliation was somewhat interesting because it was a surprise for Laudine which she didn't really want and Yvain was so glad that him and her would become in love again but she was still pissed and felt betrayed and she might really not love him and not trust him but at her wishes she is with him again because she didn't know the knight with the lion was him which is another theory to the story
