Abstract
- The article focuses on the chivalry crisis issue cited in the medieval book "Le Chevalier de la Charette," by Chrétien de Troyes written during the Middle Age period. It mentions that the said literary work depicted the characterization of Lancelot in the Arthurian romances and cites his distinctiveness from other knights in the tales. However, it elucidates Lancelot's negative action in the story, detailing his adulterous relationship with Queen Guenevere, wife of King Arthur, which caused the loss of his credibility as respected knight. Furthermore, the metonymy of the said story is also mentioned.
