there are a lot of smart things to be said about lancelot saving guinevere from that final stake. but i think what rang clearest in my heart about it will always be: the love 😞

#he knows it will make things worse he knows there is no sustainable happy ending waiting for them at the end of all this he knows all #this and he still saves her. how can he not. he loves her. how could he let her burn when he could save her?#arthuriana #poppy speaks #+ smth smth the queen can be sacrificed to rescue the king's face & honor but the king cannot do the same. cannot pardon her—will not #pleaseee read guenevere burning by amy kaufman
