0 out of 2 points Which of the following statements is false?
Selected
Answer: Overall, throughout Marie's Milun, adventure (pris) plays a
more prominent role than love. Answers: Chretien stopped composing Lancelot at some point, and another writer finished it. Though Marie calls herself "Marie de France," her writing
survives in an Anglo-Norman dialect and she dedicates her
work to an English king, so it is assumed that she lived in
England when she wrote her Lais.

0 out of 2 points Read the following passage, taken from the Prologue to Chretien's
romances and choose the answer(s) that best describe(s) the passage.
"The peasant in his proverb says that one might find oneself holding in
contempt something that is worth much more than one believes; therefore
a man does well to make good use of his learning according to whatever
understanding he has, for he who neglects his learning may easily keep
silent something that would later give much pleasure. And so Chretien de
Troyes says that it is reasonable for everyone to think and strive in every
way to speak well and to teach well, and from a tale of adventure he
draws a beautifully ordered composition that clearly proves that a man
does not act intelligently if he does not give free rein to his knowledge for
as long as God gives him the grace to do so."

0 out of 2 points Which of the following best describes the fall of Arthur's kingdom in
Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain? Selected
Answer: It is a momentous event, and Geoffrey suggests that Arthur
can never be replaced. Answers: It is a momentous event, and Geoffrey suggests that Arthur
can never be replaced.
Women, who for so long have remained silent in the text,
make the best of a bad situation and prevent any further
damage to the kingdom by convincing the knights of an
appropriate strategy.
It is handled as though it doesn't even matter. Arthur is like a
blip on the radar screen; Arthur is just one more king who will
be replaced by another. No big deal.
It happens just the way it was predicted in the Aeneid,
Geoffrey's source text. Response

Selected
Answer: Erec changes throughout the narrative and grows as a person
on account of key insights into his relationship with Enide. Answers: Erec changes throughout the narrative and grows as a person
on account of key insights into his relationship with Enide.
Without a doubt, the Joy of the Court scene finally resolves the
tension between love and adventure, which is at play
throughout the work.
The poem often proceeds by exploring trivialities that lead to
more complex episodes or character development.
One reason Enide's name is withheld for several thousand
lines is to make her more difficult to interpret or understand
insofar as she is a complex character. Response

interest in the courtly world.
Arthur and his men unfairly exclude Lanval from their society
at the beginning of the poem.

0 out of 2 points All of the following are true of Beowulf except:

those same qualities in Shield Sheafson as presented in the
opening of the poem, especially regarding the issue of having
or not having an heir to take over when one dies. Answers: The poem ends ambiguously, suggesting that glory and fame have both positive and negative outcomes.
Wealhtheow surprisingly seems to have little regard for her
children and would rather have Beowulf as king.

opening of the poem, especially regarding the issue of having
or not having an heir to take over when one dies.
