FYS questions part 3 Anthony Bonitatibus

3.  Tristain goes mad in this book most likely because of the fact that he is no longer able to see his love Yseut again.  Tristain is not ok with this, he even grew weak because of this.  Driven by love he decided to go back to Cornwall to see his love again.  However this time he goes to Cornwall disguised as a leper.  Tristain puts on a robe, makes himself walk funny and seem old and sick just so he can be with Yseut again.  No matter how dangerous this could of been Tristain would of probably killed himself if he could not see her again.

4.  It is understandable how Tristain and Yseut must die at the end of this novel.  If the novel had just ended with them being apart than the whole book would of been for nothing, they had to die because they had a love that was forbidden and anytime something would happen to them or they tried to be together they would have to end up running or killing someone.  They were bound to each others love, and the only way for them to break free of that, was through death.  Death was the only way for them to be able to be at peace since they knew they could not be together.
