#this applies to bois-guilbert sir walter and myself obviously
Conversation
Me, sobbing, trying to conduct a one-woman séance at Dryburgh Abbey: Sir Walter, I love you, I just want to talk about some things.
#yes this is about#ivanhoe#why does bois-guilbert become a templar?#yes he says that he aspires to become grand master of the order but surely this is a post-facto ambition#what he really seems to be going for is territorial lordship/political power#but... belonging to an order will make that harder rather than easier#and this man is efficient! ruthlessly so!#why does he call himself one of europe's rejected sons?#why does he opt out of inheritance and land management and family relationships and marriage?#anyway#the thing is#what i'm seeing here is supercessionism rewound#he betrays his vows as a knight of the temple for love of a woman who has inherited the faith of that temple#completely incapable of having a normal amount of feelings#this applies to bois-guilbert sir walter and myself obviously
