Spring break 1170

It is Easter and everyone is together in the town, Cardigan. Undoubtedly there is beautiful springtime weather, and it appears to be making everyone go wild.

We are taking a particular interest in everyone's physical appearance. For example, Erec the knight is described as incredibly handsome and brave.
Additionally, the narrative voice in the story is devoting extra time to describe the physical appearance of women in the story. Essentially, it feels as though everyone is checking each other out and flirting with each other due to the number of ways that we hear them called beautiful and noble.

Of course, Erec is still a knight and when he encounters an enemy that he wishes to fight, he will do so in the most chivalrous way. This is unlike modern times, we have lost our chivalry, and people today would have likely started a fight immediately rather than offering respect.
