Status Updates From The Faerie Queene

Still going...

Book IV, Canto I, where Britomart and Amoret (who believes Britomart is male) travel, and Amoret, who is a wedded but unbedded wife, worries that she might have to be unfaithful because she owes this knight her life and loyalty. They travel to a castle, have a battle, and Britomart reveals her femininity, to Amoret's relief. Duessa arrives again, with Ate, Paridell, and Blandamour. There are several fights.

Book III, Canto XII, where Britomart watches the masque of Cupid unfold in front of her, representing how lovers sometimes mask their true passionate feelings. Britomart uses her wits to find Amoret and the wizard. She frees Amoret and captures the wizard, then leads them out of the castle, but Glauce and Scudamour were not waiting for them - they had gone seeking additional help. This is the end of Book Three.

Book III Canto XI, where Britomart chases the giant Ollyphant and finds Scudamour in the forest. Scudamour is distressed by the capture of his love, so Britomart offers to help. They go to the castle of the wizard Busirane, and Britomart makes her way through Vulcan's fire to find tapestries depicting Cupid's triumphs, a golden statue of Cupid, and words telling her to be bold (immodest) - but not too bold.
