Summary: "Genièvre" by Alfred Tennyson Tennyson is a poetic narrative written during the late 19th century. This book recounts the tale of Queen Genièvre (Guinevere), exploring themes of love, betrayal, and redemption in the context of Arthurian legend. It combines elements of tragedy and moral introspection, as it delves into the consequences of infidelity within the legendary relationships of King Arthur, Lancelot, and Genièvre. The narrative centers on Genièvre, who feels consumed by guilt and shame after her affair with Sir Lancelot, which ultimately leads to her fleeing to a convent as tensions rise within King Arthur's court. Throughout her time in solitude among the nuns, she grapples with her past and the implications of her actions. Modred's treachery further complicates her story as he seizes power, heightening the context of betrayal surrounding the fallen Arthurian ideals. In the end, Genièvre finds solace in penance and dedicates herself to a life of service, becoming the abbess of the convent and hoping for eventual redemption, reflecting the book's exploration of human frailty, the quest for forgiveness, and the enduring consequences of one's choices.
