I have been familiar with the Arthurian Legend since a very young age (I was 11 years). I got to the Arthurian Legend sa pamamagitan ng pagbaba the poem Gawain and the Green Knight. Because I wanted to know madami about him I read the Arthurian Legend the Welsh version - in which he has a madami expand story line . As I read the Welsh version of the Arthurian Legend I came across the fair goddess-queen named Gwenhwyfar (or at least its Anglicized form of 'Guinevere'). I immediately liked her. I enjoyed pagbaba about her as this noble, fair reyna who represented the authority of Arthur's reign. The spirit of Brittia. Gwenhwyfar became a great role model to me as I became older. Later on I decided to read the popular version of the Arthurian Legend. The french one. Le Modre Arthur. And I couldn't have been madami truly disappointed on the take of the queen. They where nothing alike. It was a pure insult to the woman I idolized so long. In fact I personally find the french version of the Arthurian Legend pretty much anti-woman. Almost every woman of it is portrayed negatively. After this I still watched and read other versions of the Arthurian Legend sa pamamagitan ng hoping. But every time I was disappointed over and over again. Countless times I had to madala to see Gwenhwyfar's name to be humiliated.

When I watched this ipakita for the first time I was of course skeptical on their take of Guinevere/Gwenhwyfar. My this ipakita truly took me at surprise. I was surprised that Gwen was a handmaiden in the first place. I was shocked to see that these writers where probably heading to a Arthur/Guinevere pag-ibig story.

I came to pag-ibig Gwen in this ipakita as the adorable, awkward and shy young girl as my paborito character of this show. As I watched Guinevere grow as a person to the reyna she is destined to be I couldn't be madami happier that this Guinevere would be madami like Gwenhwyfar then any other.

Sure when it comes to appearance Guinevere and Gwenhwyfar couldn't be any madami different. While Gwenhwyfar has golden hair Guinevere has brown hair. While Gwenhwyfar has a pale skin (her name means blessed white spirit) Guinevere has a far madami darker skin. While Gwenhwyfar is a tall woman (her father has the nickname giant) this version Guinevere is far madami shorter. But when it comes to personality Guinevere and Gwenhwyfar are truly alike like no other.



♥Thank you for reading♥
