Medieval Romance

These Medieval romances are pure fairytale. These stories are where the people have come up with the concept of the knight in shining armor. Yes, these tales are sweet, and they include a few men that some women always dream of finding, and that is why they are so interesting to read. By reading these tales, the reader's perception of their own fairytale is being shaped, whether they know it or not. It is like watching or reading a Nicholas Sparks movie or book; the characters are what we can only dream of, and sometimes we get so caught up in these fairytales that we can no longer tell the difference between what truly is a fairytale and what is reality. "It is a choice I cannot make, my dear Ragnell. It concerns you. Whatever you choose to be-fair by day or fair by night- I will willingly abide by it"(Anonymous 24). Honestly, how many men do you know that will willingly tell someone straight out that looks don't matter? It is extremely rare because the outside is always what we see first, a first impression if you will, the rest is all learned through exploration, and it is not until we explore what is in front of us that we learn what we truly desire most.
