- W87668875 abstract "cy* he endings of Marie de France's Lais raise the question: Who will decide the Is outcome, and thereby the meaning, of the adventure? In some lais it is clearly the male lover who determines the significance of the adventure lived by the lovers, as we find in Chaitivel, a lai about a lady and her four admirers. After the tournament in which three of the knights are killed, the surviving lover wants to replace the lady's title, Quatre Dois ([My] Four Griefs [1. 204]) by his own, which commemorates their story: Le Chaitivel (The Unfortunate One [208]). l Since the title of a lai is assumed to summarize the adventure and point to its meaning, the lady's remarkable adventure involving her loss of four lovers becomes instead, with the change in title, the story of the lover's adventure and his grief. In many other lais it is the solution proposed by the female protagonist which stands out: Fresne spreads her blanket on her lover's marriage bed to prepare it for his bride; Guildeluec retires to a nunnery so that her husband can marry his beloved; Lan val' s fairy mistress comes to Arthur's court to clear her lover's name. If we look more closely, however, we see that a masculine solution replaces or rewrites the feminine one not simply in one or two of the lais but in all of them, thereby establishing the ultimate meaning of the adventure as masculine. In this article I will explore the ways in which Marie's female characters deal with their difficulties, and how the ultimate resolution of the lais are determined by their men. Finally, I will look at how this remarkable pattern of male solutions taking precedence over female ones may reflect Marie's pessimism about women's sphere of action in her society, and even her uncertainty about the ultimate reception of her own work in a society in which men traditionally had the last word." @default.
