Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2022 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 94.0, The American University, Washington, DC, language: English, abstract: Within Marie de France's lais textile can often function as symbols. However, textile can often have surprising interpretations in other popular Medieval literature. Anti-feminism is a popular trope in Medieval literature. Women are depicted as untrustworthy, manipulative, and deceitful tricksters. After initial readings of Marie de France's Bisclavret and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (author known as 'Gawain-poet'), we may think that they are anti-feminist because they do not have strong female leads who present as heroing, but rather, we see them depicted in stereotypical and dishonest ways.
