Medieval Romance

Medieval Romance isn't my favorite thing to read. I don't really enjoy reading about magic, knights, and chivalry because I don't find it to be the most interesting subject. It isn't my favorite because most of the things are farfetched and very fictional. I also don't enjoy reading the old English language, because it is sometimes hard to understand. "If they'll dare it, any of these eager knights, rise so bodly, so fierce, so wild, and give a blow and take a blow... Hurry I'm waiting!" ( Sir Gawain and The Green Knight lines 285-292). I thought it was very confusing to understand what he was saying the first time I read this. I just don't find knights, magic, and chivalry a very interesting topic.
