The lion and the knight

1. Well in Erec and Enide they were truly in love as the story progressed. At the beginning of this story Yvain and his new found love do not really know each other which is similiar to Erec and Enide. In this story Lunete marries Yvain because they need a new lord and someone who will protect them. At first she is so emotional about her original lover being killed and wants Yvain killed because of him killing her original love. She realizes that he might be as good as of a knight compared to her old husband. This story has a different vibe then Erec and Enide because she chooses to marry him instead of him choosing her even though he falls in love with her at first sight.
3. Yvain can be described as a knight that is decent looking. Lunete can be described as beautiful because in the text Yvain describes her as the most beautiful woman and how he falls in love with her at first sight. He describes her hair blond and so nice but she is ripping it out because she is very emotional.
