Malory: Le Morte d'Arthur

While reading Le Morte d' Arthur's "chapter" of the siege of Benwick, i found the battle between Sir Launcelot and Sir Gawain most interesting. Sir Gawain is proved to have a spell that was cast on him as a child that helped him win battles. His strength would increase until noon where it would wan and this is when Sir Launcelot took his carefully awaited moment to strike. This to me seems like an unfair advantage to a knight and also made me wonder why Sir Gawain wasn't a better knight. Most of all the battle between the two knights was interesting because of how persistent Sir Gawain was. He refused to accept defeat from Sir Launcelot and unless one of them was dead he was not going to stop challenging him. To me it seems that would be embarrassing for a knight to lose repeatedly to another knight, and shameful to continually challenge said knight again and again. I also found the effect of king Arthurs on Queen Gwynevere quite interesting. She never showed over whelming love for the king so for her to join a a nunnery after he dies seemed rash. Also when she completely blows off Sir Launcelot after lusting after him throughout her husbands life completely blew my mind. On page 504 she says "my lord, we shall not kiss now, or ever; and i pray you to depart". After all the trouble she caused when she and Sir Launcelot can finally be together she chooses to revert back to her faith? seems like a poor excuse for a woman who just likes to cause trouble.
