Antiquated and Over-The-Top Feelings for Significant Other

"So deep with pain of parting that rising was a true martyrdom, and he suffered a martyr's agony: his heart repeatedly turned back to the queen that it had no desire to quit her. His body left, but his heart stayed. Lancelot went straight towards the window, but he left enough body behind to stain and spot the sheets with the blood that dripped from his fingers." (Wilhelm, 157).


This quote also spoke to me because it is very much representative of old school depictions of love in media. In my opinion, Romeo and Juliet has a similar vibe since it has the same questionable take on what love really is or can be. The reactions to their significant others in general is also just really goofy and its surprising people took it seriously for so long.
