Chapters 90-122

Chapters 90-122
1. Enide passed Erec's test when he hears her saying that she won't follow that king's orders or is not feared at him at all. Erec is thrilled by what he hears and realizes she really loves him. Their relationship has changed for the better and Erec says he will not even be upset with Enide if she disobeyed him because she has proved herself that she really loves him and he loves her. A lot has changed since they have left the kingdom and they realized they are truly in love. Erec put her through this to see what kind of person she was and he found out who she really was and he liked what he saw.
2. We are told of the "death" and the "rebirth" of Erec but it was shown that it was all a test for Enide for what she would do or say about it when he became concious and Erec liked what he heard her say. Chretien decided to include this because it shows the rebirth of their love again. It relates to the rest of the text because Erec and Enide become crowned king and queen when Erec father dies.
