Reply with quote

King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch
of a neighboring
kingdom. The monarch could have killed him, but was
moved by Arthur's
youth and ideals. So the monarch offered him freedom,
as long as he
could answer a very difficult question.

Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and
if, after a year,
he still had no answer, he would be put to death.

The question: What do women really want?

Such a question would perplex even the most
knowledgeable man, and to
young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But,
since it was better
than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to
have an answer by
year's end.

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll
everybody: the princess,
the prostitutes, the priests, the wise men, and the
court jester. He
spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a
satisfactory answer.
Many people advised him to consult the old witch --
only she would know
the answer.

The price would be high; the witch was famous
throughout the kingdom for
the exorbitant prices she charged. Finally, the last
day of the year
arrived and Arthur had no alternative but to talk to
the witch. She
agreed to answer the question, but he had to accept
her price first. The
old witch wanted to marry Gawain, the most notable of
the Knights of the
Round Table and Arthur's closest friend!

Young Arthur was horrified: she was hunchbacked and
hideous, had only
one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises...
etc. He had never
encountered such a repugnant creature. He refused to
force his friend to
marry her and have to endure such a burden.

Gawain, upon learning of the proposal, spoke with
Arthur. He told him
that nothing was too big a sacrifice compared to
Arthur's life and the
preservation of the Round Table.

Hence, their wedding was proclaimed, and the witch
answered Arthur thus:
What a woman really wants is to be in charge of her
own life.

Everyone instantly knew that the witch had uttered a
great truth and
that Arthur's life would be spared. And so it was. The
neighboring
monarch granted Arthur total freedom.

What a wedding Gawain and the witch had! Arthur was
torn between relief
and anguish. Gawain was proper as always, gentle and
courteous. The old
witch put her worst manners on display, and generally
made everyone very
uncomfortable.

The hour approached, Gawain, steeling himself for a
horrific experience,
entered the bedroom. But what a sight waited him! The
most beautiful
woman he had never seen lay before him!

The astounded Gawain asked what had happened. The
beauty replied that
since he had been so kind to her when she'd appeared
as a witch, she
would henceforth be her horrible, deformed self half
the time, and the
other half, she would be her beautiful maiden self.
Which would he want
her to be during the day, and during the night?

What a cruel question! Gawain pondered his
predicament. During the day,
a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at
night, in the
privacy of his home, an old witch?

Or would he prefer having by day a hideous witch, but
by night a
beautiful woman with whom to enjoy many intimate
moments?

What would you do?

Noble Gawain replied that he would let her choose for
herself. Upon
hearing this, she announced that she would be
beautiful all the time,
because he had respected her enough to let her be in
charge of her own
life.

What is the moral of this story?

THE MORAL IS:


IF A WOMAN DOESN'T GET HER WAY, THINGS GET UGLY

Where'd you get that? Its like a basterdization of the canterbury tales, the Wife of Bath's story. Or was that a legend and then chaucer decided to use it...?

I always heard the moral as:

Quote:
It doesn't matter if your woman is beautiful or ugly. Underneath it all, she's still a witch.

Gawaine? No he wasn't. Lancelot was the most notable and Arthur's closest friend. Pfft.

Depends on what period of the Arthur legend you're in, Gawain joined Arthur before Lancelot did, and Gawain didn't run off with Arthur's wife either.

Hmm that's true. Touche.

Quote:

Well, now, Gwen and Lancelot never actually ran off together. And it seemed like Arthur didn't really get too mad that Gwen was with Lancelot more than she was with him. Man, that was a good book. I've only read The Once and Future King... But since then I've thought about reading Le Morte D' Arthur. Mmm hmm... quite good.

Edited for spelling... I don't know French at all.

In The Mists of Avalon they all get kinky together.

Okay, so the story: It's originally older than Chaucer. And Lancelot always runs away with Gueneviere/Gweneviere. Arthur never wants them caught. At least, in all the stories up to OaFK. Bradley did give a different version of the story, and I never read it, just the criticism on it, so I wouldn't know about the gangbangs.

Player of Guy Guerrmo, not a lurker, I swear.

Le Morte D'Arthur is not exactly a great thing to pick up for light reading. It's told in a sort of hodge podge way with lots of detailed following of the knights on their many (strange) little quests. I would only recommend it for those who really like 12-15th century literature or are really die-hard Arthur fans. On the plus side, it is supposed to be the original collection of Arthur tales.

Hmm, in that case I might stay away from it... thanks for the warning *grins*. Oh, and by the way, to get the quotes to work, you have to put the name in quotation marks, like this:

Gangbangs? Hardly. They do celebrate a Beltaine feast in there, and even though sex is involved, its not like a wild porno movie. Its a religious ceremony. Sheesh. [/rant]

Anyway, while Mists of Avalon isn't that close to the traditional story, it's still a good read and one of my favorite books.
