Medieval Romance In The Vow

719 Words3 Pages

In my opinion, The Vow, shows many qualities of a medieval romance. From the beginning of the movie, everything for Paige and Leo started out great. They had just recently got married, but everything was ruined for them when they got into a serious car accident. They were rear ended and Paige burst out the front windshield which lead her into a deep coma. When Paige woke up they both learned that Paige had lost most of her memory. All of the moments they shared together were gone and he knew it would take a very long time for her to remember them again.
Throughout the movie, Leo not only faced the one challenge of Paige gaining her memory and love back for him. He also faced problems with Paige’s ex fiance, and the confusing relationship she had with her family. He wanted her to remember that she was once interested in art, rather than law. Law was what her family always had wanted her to do, and since she has no memory of loving art, the relationship she has with her family was much more confusing to her.
Despite all of these challenges, Leo was determined to help her get through it, and his main goal was for Paige to fall back in love with him all over again. Leo going through all of those challenges is a perfect example of a characteristic of a medieval romance. One of the main medieval romance …show more content…

They share many of the same characteristics. In medieval romances the main character usually goes on a quest, and in this case, Leo had a mission of getting Paige to fall back in love with him after losing most of her memory. Paige’s ex fiance coming back into the story is a perfect example of the good versus evil described in a medieval romance. Leo was tested on their love throughout this whole movie because Leo could have given up on their relationship, and although he wanted to, he didn’t. Leo knew their love was strong, and he had strong beliefs in regaining Paige’s love

    Leo's insight; “Most of that stuff is just about classes you have to go to anyway, and walking around the city on a leash with Mom.

  • Courtly Love In The Knight Of The Cart

    1269 Words  | 6 Pages

    Courtly love in the medieval romance story of Lancelot (also known as The Knight of the Cart) is the driving force of this famous romance beloved for generations. This proves to be an interesting subject, seeing is a lot of other medieval stories do not focus on love and instead, show it in a rather negative light. This was obviously seen in another medieval story, Njal’s Saga, where not only were marriages arranged and sometimes unwanted by one or both parties, the relationships between men and women were rought with conflict, hatred, and sometimes even murder. The women were not beautiful, diminutive, helpless creatures; they were as strong as their male counterparts. Men also had relatively no interest in love, only of going on grand adventures

  • Courtly Love In The Wife Of Bath's Tale

    817 Words  | 4 Pages

    Geoffrey Chaucer was a driving force in the Middle Ages and is known to be the “Father of the English Language” as he popularized the English language in literature and introduced bawdy, vernacular speech in his books and poems. One of his most celebrated works is The Canterbury Tales, a frame story representing people from different social classes, ages, genders, and occupations of the medieval period. Love is a persisting theme throughout the entire story and many of the tales express extreme attitudes about love and a woman’s role in marriage. The Wife of Bath’s Tale and the Clerk’s Tale contradict and vilify each other’s perspective of “courtly love” and a proper marriage. A knight that had grievously reviled a woman’s dignity was demanded to identify what women most desired in the Wife of Bath’s Tale.
