I really enjoyed this unit. It was very entertaining. A favorite chapter of mine was the The Magic Mirror. I really enjoyed this chapter because it was kind of humorous. This section was about what had brought Britomart onto the journey with the Knights. A knight approaches Britomart and asks why Britomart is here. Britomart replies that she left her home to find someone -- Artegall. She lies to the Knight and tells him that she wishes to revenge herself against Artegall but really she wishes to find Artegall not because she has contempt towards him but because she is in love with him. She did not want the Knight to know her true feelings toward Artegall. As soon as Britomart said this, the Knight defended Artegall. He began telling Britomart the amazing accomplishments of Artegall. This pleased Britomart so she continued to verbally attack Artegall just so that she may hear more good things about Artegall. This was the part of the story that I thought was humorous.
I also enjoyed The Cave of the Magician Merlin. This chapter was about the aftermath of seeing her future husband, Artegall, in the magical mirror by Merlin. After looking into the mirror, Britomart becomes ill or "lovesick." She longs for Artegall. Her sick state concerns her nurse, Glauce. Glauce fearful for Britomart visits Merlin. Merlin informs Glauce that the man that Britomart saw in the mirror was Sir Artegall, the champion Knight of Justice, and he lives in the land of the Faerie Queene. Glauce returns to Britomart and tells her what Merline told her. This contents Britomart for now she knows where can find him.
