I have been familiar with the Arthurian Legend since a very young age (I was 11 years). I got to the Arthurian Legend oleh membaca the poem Gawain and the Green Knight. Because I wanted to know lebih about him I read the Arthurian Legend the Welsh version - in which he has a lebih expand story line . As I read the Welsh version of the Arthurian Legend I came across the fair goddess-queen named Gwenhwyfar (or at least its Anglicized form of 'Guinevere'). I immediately liked her. I enjoyed membaca about her as this noble, fair queen who represented the authority of Arthur's reign. The spirit of Brittia. Gwenhwyfar became a great role model to me as I became older. Later on I decided to read the populer version of the Arthurian Legend. The french one. Le Modre Arthur. And I couldn't have been lebih truly disappointed on the take of the queen. They where nothing alike. It was a pure insult to the woman I idolized so long. In fact I personally find the french version of the Arthurian Legend pretty much anti-woman. Almost every woman of it is portrayed negatively. After this I still watched and read other versions of the Arthurian Legend oleh hoping. But every time I was disappointed over and over again. Countless times I had to beruang to see Gwenhwyfar's name to be humiliated.

When I watched this tampil for the first time I was of course skeptical on their take of Guinevere/Gwenhwyfar. My this tampil truly took me at surprise. I was surprised that Gwen was a handmaiden in the first place. I was shocked to see that these writers where probably heading to a Arthur/Guinevere cinta story.

I came to cinta Gwen in this tampil as the adorable, awkward and shy young girl as my favorit character of this show. As I watched Guinevere grow as a person to the queen she is destined to be I couldn't be lebih happier that this Guinevere would be lebih like Gwenhwyfar then any other.

Sure when it comes to appearance Guinevere and Gwenhwyfar couldn't be any lebih different. While Gwenhwyfar has golden hair Guinevere has brown hair. While Gwenhwyfar has a pale skin (her name means blessed white spirit) Guinevere has a far lebih darker skin. While Gwenhwyfar is a tall woman (her father has the nickname giant) this version Guinevere is far lebih shorter. But when it comes to personality Guinevere and Gwenhwyfar are truly alike like no other.
