Notes on IMK Chapters 4-6 (pp. 328-340)

Lancelots's feelings about Guenever:

- at first, he is jealous of her because she snatched "away [Arthur's] love for no cost at all" (p. 328)
- was unable to see anything good about her because of his jealousy: "his mind was filled with previous pictures he had made for himself." (p. 331)
- Lancelot is only able to see Guenever on her own terms because he hurt her feelings: "She was pretty Jenny who could think and feel." (p. 334)
- Lancelot feels angry that Arthur is taking him to the Roman war
   - he felt that it "implied lack of trust" (p. 337)
- however, Guenever "was able to come between them after all" (p. 339)
   - as soon as Lancelot notices that he really is in love with her, he asks to leave court.
