I think Guinevere was a feminist character because she fought for what she wanted. She seemed to have pride in herself and stand up for her beliefs. When Launcelot had an affair she was sure to fight him for it. Later, after he proved to her he still loved her she fell in love again but overall I think she is a srtong willed female character in the story.
Yes I do believe she was a feminist because she stood up for what she believed in and what she wanted. She was willing to go burn at the stake for her love for lancelot.
I am think that Guinevere was a feminist. She was a very strong woman that believed in love and honor. She was willing to take chances with Sir Lancelot because she loved him, but also knew that there were consequences for her behavior. And after King Arthur's death she was true to herself and honored King Arthur's memory by going into seclusion.
Guinevere is not a feminist in the sense that she plays an accurate gender role for women of that time period. It would have been more feminist of her to forget about Lancelot and move on.
I don't know that if standing up for your beliefs, much less your love demonstrates that you are a feminist. I think that her importance in the story helps early feminism by showing us that women had power and influence just as men.

ReplyDeleteIn what ways is she NOT a feminist??

ReplyDeleteI think that the fact that she allowed Lancelot to safe her and go into a convent was showing she was very anti-feminist.
