the story of the grail

2. Chretien portrays Perceval as like a little boy in a toy store he is so amazed of what he is seeing. The image of knighthood being showed is the glory of the image of being a knight. Perceval perception of knighthood is he thinks they are god because how amazing they look. They conflict with each other because Perceval was not ever suppose to see a knight and he thinks they are from god or something and that is a very odd thing just because of their appearance. Chretien does this to show a different image of knights.
3. Perceval mother reaction is that she is very sad because she knew once Perceval saw a knight he would want to be one. She tells Perceval about his families past about his dad and brothers being knights and them dieing from it. She doesn't want to lose him too. He is all she has. He should have gave it a few weeks before he left to become a knight.
4. Perceval does some things that aren't to smart in order to become a knight. This can be a problem because his steps to becoming one aren't smart because at one point he just takes the maiden's ring from her when she is in the tent. Another he just challenges anybody which isn't good because he is not experienced yet. In the text he goes up to the red knight and challenges him and luckily hits the red knight in the eye and blows his brains out.
