Tristan andYseutFool King Mark-Again Mark’s Discovery of the Lovers
The next image is from Tristan Ms. 1BayerischeStaatsbibliothekMünchen, Cod. germ. 51 (2nd quarter of the thirteenth century) . • Focus in particular on the middle, where Tristan and Yseut are pictured sleeping. How does this image match up with what is described in the text (p. 88)?
pp. 91-95 • Read the episode very carefully, and think about it from two points of view, that of Mark and that of Tristan andYseut. In particular, define what each of the following things signifies to each party: • 1- the sword between the two lovers (Tristan’s and then Mark’s) • 2- Mark’s andYseut’srings and Mark’s exchange of them • 3- the gloves Mark places overYseut’seyes • Why am I asking you these specific questions—in other words, why is it significant that each party interprets everything very differently?
