In the beginning, Lanval does have some semblance of personality, indicated with the lines “For his valor, for his generosity, / his beauty and bravery” (21-22) which imply a generous nature but not intelligence or strong character, and his weak personality is evidenced by his actions as Lanval ultimately falls to the shallow trait of the fairy queen’s beauty despite the fact that her simple presence indicates far more…

In “Saint Marie (1934): Marie Lazarre,” from the novel Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich, begins with Marie Lazarre following the Nuns up the hill to the Sacred Heart Convent where she will become a protégé, not for the intentions of salvation, but to prevent Sister Leopolda from getting into heaven.
