| Parzival | comment |
Parzival is a narrative romance in Middle High German by Wolfram von Eschenbach.It details the exploits of Parzival (Percival), knight of the Round Table, in his search for the Holy Grail. Divided into sixteen 'books' written in long verses of rhyming couplets, the first two portray the (bigamous) exploits of Parzival's father, then the next three show Parzival's career as a young and inexperienced knight, culminating in his stay at the mysterious castle of the Grail, with its tormented king. On failing to ask the question which would end the king's suffering, Parzival finds himself cast out in shame, and spends the remainder of the poem attempting to find the castle again in order to ask the right question.The latter half of the poem is interspersed with episodes following Gawan (Gawain) in his efforts to disprove an accusation of murder, and then get married, with the last books uniting the two plots.The story is considerably embellished by the idiosyncratic style of Wolfram himself, prone to digressions, comments on his society (and his love life), as well as sarcastic attacks on his readers and other authors.Dating from the first decades of the thirteenth century, it took its inspiration from the unfinished twelfth-century French romance Perceval, the Story of the Grail by Chrétien de Troyes, which was the first work about a quest for the Grail. Both works drew on the idealised presentation of King Arthur in Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain, and it is Geoffrey's vision of courtly life that forms the background for Wolfram's Parzival, although Wolfram probably only knew it via Chrétien.Parzival was the equivalent of a best-seller in its age: no other 13th-century literary work was copied or quoted as often. Although some of the more educated authors of the time, e. g. Gottfried von Straßburg, the writer of the Middle High German Tristan and Iseult, looked down on the "wild tale" (wilde maere), it was one of the main reasons why in the middle ages it was said of Wolfram: "layen mund nye pas gesprach" (the mouth of no lay person ever spoke better).Parzival proved very influential in the presentation of the Grail Legend, as well as being the touchstone for the German understanding of Arthurian Legend. Richard Wagner's last opera, Parsifal, was based on this, while his earlier opera Lohengrin was written around a "sequel" to the poem (Lohengrin is Parzival's son). | |

| Parzival / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: On being separated from his wife for years in his search for the Grail, the sight of three drops of blood which form a resemblance to her causes Parzival to become immobile. But not so badly that he can't defeat any knight that tries to take advantage of him, before going right back to rigid silence. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Parzival / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Mediaeval writers generally had a very loose sense of historical accuracy, and Wolfram was no different, including both the worship of Roman gods and the courtly standards of his own time in a story set roughly halfway between both time periods. The illuminations to the various manuscripts continue this, with the characters depicted in contemporary dress. | |

Gratuitous French: Wolfram liked to use French vocabulary, even if he apparently only knew it by ear (e. g. Parzival comes from the house of Anschouwe, i. e. Anjou). He is sometimes called the medieval German poet who brought more French words into the German language than any other. | |

| Parzival / int_3b16449 | comment |
Plot Tumor: Some look on much of the Gawan-centric chapters as this, but the Gawan plot actually serves an important purpose: The protagonist and deuteragonist epitomize two different models of chivalry, Gawan as the perfect knight in the traditional Arthurian mold, while Parzival aspires to and ultimately reaches the higher ideal of a Christian Knight of the Grail. | |

And Now You Must Marry Me: Herzeleide arranged a tourney, where the winner would be rewarded with her hand. On the eve of the tourney, the participants had a warm-up battle, where Gahmuret - who wasn't even going to participate in the actual tourney - dominated so completely that Herzeleide decided to skip the tourney and just marry Gahmuret. He objected, because he was already married and wouldn't have wanted to stay with Herzeleide anyway, but she got judges to rule that he had to. | |

Author Appeal: The ubiquity of extragant costumes and big fancy castles is easy to understand when you take note of the parts where Wolfram laments his own poverty.

Direct Line to the Author | |
| Parzival / int_6a3c49f | comment |
Direct Line to the Author: Wolfram by and large follows the narrative Chrétien de Troyes' unfinished Perceval li Gallois, but to justify where he deviates from it he claims that Chrétien got important details wrong. How does he know? Because he got the true account. This was written down by the wise Moorish astrologer Flegetanis, the son of an Arabian father and a Jewish mother, who read it from the stars. Flegetanis' work was translated from Arabic into Latin in Toledo and made its way to France, where it was translated into Provencal by the writer Kyot or Guiot. This led not a few scholars to set off in search of Wolfram's alleged source, the book of Guiot, so far without success. | |

Meaningful Name: Quite a few, even if it is not always easy to see as they usually take the form of Old French names phonetically spelled by a speaker of Middle High German. For instance, the Grail Castle is called Munsalvaesche, which would correspond to Modern French Mont Sauvage (wild mountain). | |

"Not Making This Up" Disclaimer: Employed a couple of times, perhaps most notably when Gahmuret sails away from Zazamank and just so happens to meet Fridebrant's ship in the middle of sea. This may sound like a huge coincidence, Wolfram admits, but it's what the Story tells, and he was told it was true. | |

Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Most antagonists in the book have the chance to do a Heel–Face Turn, or get a happy ending, or at least be treated with some sympathy from the narrator, but those who have raped someone are irredeemable and deserve only death - as mentioned by a squire discussing a knight in king Meljanz's army, and shown in more detail when Gawan saves Urian's life and it comes back to bite him in the ass. | |

Throw the Dog a Bone | |

Throw the Dog a Bone: Sir Kay tends to be a bit of a Jerkass and Butt-Monkey in Arthurian Romance, but when he portrays Kay getting into a fight with Parzival (and losing, of course), Wolfram notes that in his distrust of strangers coming to Arthur's court and his rudeness to them he actually fulfilled a valuable function. If only, Wolfram says, his own benefactor landgrave Hermann of Thuringia had a Kay at his court it would not be so overrun with spongers! | |

Red Is Heroic | |
| Parzival / int_a195310a | comment |
Red Is Heroic: Parzival, early on, is known as the Red Knight, on account of his armour. Subverted in that the armour originally belonged to Ither, a relative of his, whom he unwittingly killed in a way that was not exactly considered worthy of a knight. So the red armour turns into a mark of shame. | |

My God, What Have I Done? | |
| Parzival / int_a1b141f4 | comment |
My God, What Have I Done?: In one conversation, Parzival discovers that he has killed a relative, was responsible for the death of his mother (by leaving to become a knight), and had been unworthy to find the Grail. | |

| Parzival / int_a86508ad | comment |
Visible to Believers: When Parzival and his pagan half-brother Feirefiz enter the Grail Castle, it turns out Feirefiz cannot see the Holy Grail because he is not a Christian. As soon as Feirefiz has renounced Jupiter and let himself be baptized, he can see the Grail. | |

Favors for the Sexy | |
| Parzival / int_a8decb95 | comment |
Favors For The Adorable: Obilot is able to wrap Gawan around her little finger, where her (presumably less cute) father failed to move him. Gawan remarks that when she and her friend Clauditte are grown up, they are going to destroy entire forests (because of all the knights breaking lances for their sake). | |

My Beloved Smother | |
| Parzival / int_b58c51d8 | comment |
My Beloved Smother: Herzeloyde raises Parzival alone in a forest and does everything she can so that the fate of his father (Gahmuret was killed in battle) does not befall him, even dressing him up in a fool's costume as he sets out into the world. | |

Anti-Climax | |
| Parzival / int_eeb4a5eb | comment |
Anti-Climax: Gawan's both much hyped duels end up being settled without a fight. In one case, it turns out that the reason for the challenge - Gawan allegedly having killed king Kingrisin - wasn't even true. | |

| Parzival / int_fcacf08e | comment |
The Lady's Favour: Obilot wants to give one to Gawan... which causes her a minor crisis as she does not own anything except dolls. Her mom quickly sews her a new dress with a detachable sleeve, so she can give that to her chosen knight. | |
