Sarah Hock Professor Diller IDH 3931 12 September 2013 Resume #3 In this portion of the text, Lancelot is left at King Arthur?s court by his foster mother, the lady of the lake, who leaves with him a special ring with the power to detect enchantments. He meets Queen Guinevere and other members of Arthur?s court, and is knighted in his own special white clothing. However, when Arthur knights Lancelot, he forgets to buckle on his sword, introducing a conflict that comes into play later in the passage. After his knighting, Lancelot accepts the challenge to assist the wounded knight, and also the duty of representing the Lady of Nahaut in combat. En route to Nahaut, Lancelot frees two damsels in distress, and is sent his sword from Queen Guinevere, thereby making him her knight.

Sarah Hock Professor Diller IDH3931 September 5, 2013 Resume #2 In this portion of the novel, Lancelot leaves his childhood home in the Lady Niniane?s enchanted lake and arrives at the court of King Arthur. This is this is particularly striking because he does so not only in secret, but also with all white accoutrements. The juxtaposition of two opposing concepts- in this case the secrecy of his journey with the unblemished and proud white of his retinue- is representative of the larger theme of moral conflict explored throughout the work.
