1. This is the only of Chrétien’s romances that lacks a formal prologue. Think back to the prologue for Erec and Enide, which established the parallel journey upon which both author and protagonist(s) experienced. What might the lack of a prologue then say about this romance, its writer and main character (Yvain)?
2. What do you make of Calogrenant’s story? The reasons for its genesis? What particular elements in the story strike you as interesting or bizarre? How do you interpret these elements?
3. Do a character study of Yvain, Lunete and / or Laudine. What evidence in the text can you use in order to support your description(s).
