The Faerie Queene

The Faerie Queene I apologize to you, my faithful five readers for the dearth of postings over the last few weeks. This posting is the reason why I have been so remiss. I am comparing the titular heroes of Books One and Six. Though the quest structure is essentially similiar, their characteristics, their trials and tribulations and their respective redemptive episodes create quite the contrast in overall meaning to the books. Yeah. Thrillsville.
Here is a little something from Greg Seaton.
