Énide
Résumé
"Énide" by Alfred Tennyson Tennyson is a narrative poem written in the late 19th century. The poem is anchored in the Arthurian legends, revolving around the intertwined tales of love and valor, particularly focusing on the knight Geraint and his beloved Énide. The narrative explores themes of fidelity, identity, and the sometimes volatile nature of love, especially in the context of medieval chivalry. The opening portion of the poem introduces us to Geraint, a noble knight of King Arthur's court, and his love for Énide, the daughter of the nobleman Yniol. Geraint's love for her leads him to adorn her in beautiful attire, eliciting admiration from the courtiers. However, seeds of doubt are sown when rumors arise about the queen's fidelity to Lancelot, causing Geraint to worry about Énide's loyalty as well. This inner turmoil pushes him to seek validation through acts of valor and adventure, setting the stage for a quest that will ultimately test the bonds of love and honor between the characters. The beginning thus establishes a dramatic tension between love, jealousy, and the ideals of knighthood that will navigate the unfolding narrative. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
