My personal reaction to Medeval Romance Literature is that it is very wordy in the way that it is written by Medieval Romance authors. This makes some of the pieces hard to understand and therefore hard to enjoy reading. For example, "He was often alone at nighttime in places where the path ahead would please no one" (Sir Gawain). Instead of simply saying "the upcoming path was bad" the author makes that sentence very wordy and thus it forces me to have to think about what is meant to be said. I feel like I spend more time trying to undertsand the context in which the Medieval pieces are written in rather than actually understand what is going on within the story and being able to interpret it.
