This week's reading really had the wheels turning in my head about the different ideas people have about love. Like another blogger mentioned about the idea of love at first sight, the odd fact that Arthur never needed to get to know Guenivere. The fact that Arthur proclaimed his love for her based purely on her appearance says a lot to me. I don't think he ever really and truly loved her in the first place. I think it probably boils down to more of an "I want what I can't have" concept instead. If he had truly loved her and been passionate about her he would have shown some jealousy when he found out about Guenivere and Lancelot don't you think? It just seems unbelievable to me that someone in love with a woman wouldn't show more emotion or act out of rage or anything when finding out she's been cheating. I mean, think about Othello and his reaction from a simple rumor about Desdemona cheating. It just seems to me the Arthur married Guenivere so no one else could have her instead of marrying her for love.
