"beneath the secret of Lancelot and Guinevere lies another even more destructive one: that the power of the monarch is not divine but arbitrary and easily overthrown."

"Malory... explicates how the earthly hero's rise and eventual fall and tragedy are predicated upon the same abilities, virtue and character that secure his or her greatness."

"but - instinctive rather than inventive - the Walkers were quite simply befuddled by the Victorian age, so that by the time the old Queen died they were considered half wild..."

The Grail replaces terrestrial quest with celestial. Only 4 Knights embrace the new system. The rest reject it or fail to understand it. They cling doggedly to old codes of action - to chivalry of fin'amor - ignorant that these modes are not suited to the Grail quest. Most of them are unable to even find any adventures. They do not even discover the signifiers of the quest.

Queer Movie Medievalisms (Queer Interventions)

Julie Bozza
Julie Bozza is on page 110 of 268 of Queer Movie Medievalisms (Queer Interventions)
The [Western] genre allows viewers to abandon the stifling bourgeois living room for the open prairie, and ends with the ride into the sunset instead of the disappointing conclusion (death or matrimony) of a bourgeois comedy of manners, deflating all attempts at heroism by miring the characters in everyday mediocrity. The Western is never everyday. It is a heroic fantasy genre that everyday bourgeois existence needs
