I. TRISTAN'S MOCENESSES Characters introduced in this chapter: King Rivalén (Tristan's father), Blancaflor (Tristan's mother), Rohalt the Keeper of the Faith, Duke Morgan, Tristan and King Marcos The beginning of this chapter tells how Leonís (Tristan's father ) dies for treason. On the fourth day after learning of the death of her beloved Leonís, Blancaflor (mother Tristán) gave birth to a beautiful child. She took him in her arms and said to him: “My son, I have long wanted to have you; Now I see the most beautiful creature ever born to a woman. Sad I give birth to you and sad is the first caress I give you. Because of you I have a sadness that will kill me. And since you came into the world with sadness, you will be called Tristan” (p. 10). This is a beautiful quote from Blancaflor before she died, where she names her son Tristan. This name has a lot of meaning, since her name means sadness, Tristán is predestined for her since Duke Morgan had treacherously killed Leonís, keeping the lands that belonged to Leonís. Rohalt the Keeper of the Faith passed Tristan off as his son to save his life, for if Duke Morgan had realized that the creature was Leonís' son he would have killed him. In this chapter Tristan is described as a physically attractive young man but more of a God on earth. He is an expert in all arts. He knows how to use the sword, the shield and the bow, throw stone discs, jump over the largest pits, hate every lie and every betrayal, help the weak, keep the faith granted, expert in various ways of singing, expert in playing the the harp and the montería. When he rode “it seemed as if he and his horse were not… middle of paper… she was compared to an angel. This is an excellent description as the reader can imagine exactly what Isolt looked like at that time. • It is actually unknown how King Mark developed his love for Isolde. Some think that King Mark also took the magic potion because of the great love he feels for Isolde, but it may also be that this love is genuine.• Through this story the reader has the opportunity to realize that material things are secondary elements in life. Isolt has all the wealth and envy of everything, but despite having all these things she was not happy because she missed the love of her beloved Tristan. Isolde was also very worried; she was afraid that Brgel would say something about what was between her and Tristan.• In one scene the Observations of a psychological point.
