comment
Just your typical collection of tales about a Magical Land full of Knights in Shining Armor, the evil knights and monsters they fight, and the beautiful maidens they love. Except half the knights are total newbies who have no idea what they're doing, the monsters are personifications of sins, and the maiden is just as likely as her boyfriend to be a warrior who has to bail him out of trouble.Maybe it's not so typical after all...The Faerie Queene is a collection of 6 epic poems (and the few incomplete Mutabilitie Cantos) written by Edmund Spenser as a gift for Queen Elizabeth. The first three books were published in 1590 and the next 3 in 1596. As outlined in a letter to his friend Sir Walter Raleigh, Spenser's plan was to write 24 books — the first 12 each starring a knight who personifies one of the 12 Private Virtues, and the rest starring the Public Domain Character Prince Arthur, who personifies the 12 Public Virtues — ending with an epic battle against the Faerie Queene's Arch-Enemy the Paynim King and her marriage to Arthur. Unfortunately, Spenser Died During Production; thus, we never meet the Faerie Queene in person, and Prince Arthur is never united with his True Love.Gloriana, the Queen of Faerieland, an obvious and flattering Expy of Queen Elizabeth, dwells in the magnificent royal city of Cleopolis where she runs the local Heroes "R" Us, the Knights of Maidenhead. The Knights are human beings who were Switched at Birth with Changelings (a supposedly favorite prank of The Fair Folk in those days) and serve the Faerie Queene in hopes of attaining honor and glory. The pattern of most of the stories is: a nearby kingdom is being terrorized by some threat, someone comes to Cleopolis to plead for aid, the queen sends a Knight to help them, the Knight and his companion go on a journey full of obstacles relevant to the virtue the Knight represents, the Knight defeats the villain. On the way, they eventually run into Prince Arthur, who fell in love with the Faerie Queene after seeing her in a dream. He is on his way to find her but keeps getting sidetracked by needing to help every character he meets along the way.The poems are strong Christian allegory full of symbolism and British legend. It was Spenser's first epic, a departure from the pastoral poetry he specialized in. It is widely studied in college English classes and a highly interesting read. Don't let the archaic language frighten you.By far the most famous story is that of Saint George and his slaying of the dragon, re-told here in the eleventh canto of Book I.

Angelic Beauty
 The Faerie Queene / int_10315f72
comment
Angelic Beauty: Belphoebe's appearance is described as if she were a god or angel. Her skin is said to be as white as an angel, her rosy cheeks resemble ambrosia, and her eyes are like the stars. And just like biblical angels, her beauty is so overwhelming that it terrifies those that see her (or at least Braggadochio).

Dirty Coward: Running when a tiger attacks his lover, leaving his clan to be massacred by slavers, and refusing to even tell a braver knight where to find some bad guys are all tell-tale signs of a coward. Coincidently, Coridon does all these things.

comment
Inexplicably Identical Individuals: Amyas and Placidas aren't related or anything, but even the woman who are madly in love with Amyas can't tell the difference between the two. The poem implies their similarity is largely because of how close they are as friends and the degree to which they share their values.

Our Elves Are Different: Long-predating Tolkien, elfes are established as a powerful race associated with womanly beauty, old magick, and great wisdom owing to their creation and enlightenment by Prometheus. In practice, though, the act just like humans. They wear armor, ride horses, succumb to sin, and partake in bloody duels reminiscent of medieval warfare.

comment
The Worf Effect: Britomart is introduced handily defeating the powerful hero of the previous book, Sir Guyon, and soon after defeats six knights that were giving Book I's protagonist a run for his money. Though attributed in part to her enchanted spear, both victories make it clear she is just as powerful as other epic heroes.

Crucial Cross: The Redcrosse Knight is so-named because he has a bloody cross painted onto his breastplate and shield. As part of the allegory of the work, Redcrosse represents holiness and his victories against vicious dragons, giants, and witches represent the steadfastness of God's grace in the face of evil.

Conditioned to Accept Horror: The book ends with the realization that one of Acrasia's victims actually prefers living life as a filthy pig rather than being a man. Guyon and the palmer feel a mix of pity and disgust for a man so deceived and denigrated that he can't even imagine the joys of human life.

comment
The High Queen: Gloriana the Faerie Queene never appears, but is praised by every hero who has met her for her wisdom and goodness. She also serves as the Greater-Scope Paragon of the story, since all the faerie knights that act as protagonists serve under her. Canto X of Book II mentions various virtuous queens of yore meant to reflect Spenser's real-world patron, Queen Elizabeth. They include Guendoline, who imprisoned her lecherous husband after defeating him in battle, and Bunduca, who died defending Britain from the Romans.

Transflormation: In a scene straight out of either The Aeneid or The Divine Comedy, the knight relaxes beneath a tree and grabs one of its branches, only for it to bleed and scream that it's a man. Apparently, this poor soul was seduced by a witch and cursed to turn into a plant before discovering her identity.

Green-Eyed Monster: Malbecco represents jealousy more than any other vice. He wants little more than to possess things for no purpose other than to keep others from having them, and he only leaves his home to deny others the things he wants. In the end, he ends up alone in a cave, living forever in squalor until there's nothing left of him but his unending jealousy.

Heterosexual Life-Partners
 The Faerie Queene / int_1dfbbf31
comment
Heterosexual Life-Partners: Given the focus of this book is friendship, this is a given. Campbell and Triamond are brothers-in-law who travel and battle together with more regard for the others glory than their own. When Triamond is knocked out of The Tourney, Campbell impersonates Triamond and enters the battle to save his honor, and when Triamond catches wind of it, he does the same despite the deadly injury he got the other day. The squires Amyas and Placidas are both willing to reject the love of a beautiful lady and be enslaved in order for the other to be free and find their loves. The two are so close that most people, even Amyas' fiancee, can't tell the two apart. The island around Venus' temple is not only occupied by romantic lovers, but the platonic sort whose friendship are so strong to last beyond death. The narrator makes reference to historical and mythological examples of this trope (like David and Jonathan, Achilles and Patroclus, and Pylades and Orestes) to give a sense of what he's talking about.

Arcadia: The description of Venus' island in Book IV calls to mind The Georgics and other classical accounts of idealized nature. The island is said to be a second paradise where thousands of nymphs played undisturbed in babbling brooks and chaste lovers take in the sweet scents of the flowers abounding. Book VI's second half focuses on the joy and beauty of life as a shepherd as opposed to the stress of riches and knighthood.

comment
Cock Fight: The brothers-in-arms, Blandamour and Paridell, are goaded by Ate into battling each other as soon as they see the beautiful Florimell. Canacee's suitors routinely battled each other for her hand, despite the fact she rejected all of them repeatedly. It got so bad her brother had to make an example of the three strongest "warlike wooers" by beating them. The lovers left her alone soon after.

comment
Dragons Are Demonic: The dragon is seen attacking the Kingdom of Eden, viciously attacking a shield with the symbol of the cross, burning the Tree of Life to the ground, and even spewing fire said to be just like the fires of Hell. Spenser lays it on pretty thick that he's trying to make his dragon a symbol of the Devil.

The Dreaded: Even knights who can defeat twenty men single-handedly will flee or faint at the sight of Daunger, a horrible giant who guards the second gate to Venus' temple. In reality, though, he's not that much of a threat. He respects anyone brave enough to challenge him to let them pass without a fight, so brave men like Scudamour can pass his gate without breaking a sweat.

Break the Haughty: Mirabella was punished for torturing her suitors with a lifetime spent in the capture of Disdain and Scorne. She can only be free when she fills a vial with tears of true repentance, except the vial leaks, so she has little to no hope of ever reaching freedom no matter how much she mourns.

A Lizard Named "Liz": The first generations of elves all have elf in their name. They are all descended from Elfe, whose sons were Elfin, Elfinan, and Elfinine, who themselves had kids named Elfinell, Elfant, Elfar, and Elfinor. Then Elifcleos founded Faerie and the theme naming is finally broken with his son Oberon, who was special enough to get his own name. His brother Elferon didn't warrant such special treatment, and died young to add insult to injury.

Beautiful All Along: Inverted to the extreme with Duessa who is so cunning that she somehow manages to come off as beautiful until stripped of her trappings at the end, revealing that she is as hideous on the outside as she is inside. The juicy details given by Spenser include her bald, infected scalp, toothless, rotten gums, reeking breath, sagging tits, genitals the details of which we are spared, a fox's tail covered with shit, and an eagle's talon and bear's foot.

Deus ex Machina: In Book I, all seems lost when the dragon burns Redcrosse to death with his very breath, but Redcrosse happens to fall into a sacred pool blessed by God with the ability to bring the dead back to life. This saves Redcrosse and lets him defeat the dragon, as well as making it so that God plays the role in this holy warrior's victory. A nearly literal example in Book IV. Marinell despairs at having no way to rescue Florinell, but thankfully, his mom goes to ask the sea god Neptune to rescue her and he does quite easily.

Our Giants Are Different: In Book I, the giant here is only twelve-feet tall, intelligent enough to speak, and civilized enough to have his own castle not too far from human civilization. Book II establishes that giants have existed since the time of Adonis and that two of them were strong enough to kill an elven-king. Spenser also notes that each had a different number of heads, just to make things weirder. Ollyphant from Book III is similar in size to the others, but has the unique supernatural aspect that he can't hurt virgins. Book IV introduces a giantess's son who conquered whole nations with nothing but his deadly gaze.

Great Big Library of Everything: The library of Eumnestes contains records of everything he remembers from his thousands of years on Earth. This includes chronicles on all the kings of Britain and the history of faeries, both of which take up the bulk of Book X.

comment
Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: The Redcrosse Knight and Sir Guyon are both notable for fighting with a shield in hand to save themselves from their enemies. Redcrosse obviously has the symbol of a cross on his shield, which helps fellow Christians identify him as an ally, and Sir Guyon has the face of the Queen of Faerie as his, which does much the same.

The Farmer and the Viper: Guyon releases Occasion and Furor at Pyrrochles' request, but as soon as he does, Furor starts to savagely beat Pyrrochles and Ocassion encourages everyone to get more and more violent. Guyon tries to intervene and capture Furor and Ocassion, but the wise Palmer advises him that Pyrrochles would only release the two captors again and that his pity is in vain. Allegorically, this represents the need to completely avoid moments of temptation and anger, since engaging with them only leads to more pain.

Beauty Contest

Beauty Contest: Satyrane holds a tournament to determine the strongest, most-skilled knight, followed by a beauty contest for the knights' ladies. The prizes for the winners would be a magic girdle… and each other! The beauty contest entrants are judged for their beauty but the magic girdle can only be won by a chaste and faithful soul. The princess they pick to win (who's really a clone — long, sad story) tries over and over to put it on but can’t, and even though second-place can wear the prize, the princess-clone keeps the prize and the win for herself. The winning knight passes up the prize of a date due to being secretly female.

Happy Ending Override: After much ado is made about capturing and punishing Archimago in the last book, this book immediately establishes that he got away and continued to torture the good knights of the realm for the foreseeable future. Presumably, it wasn't mentioned in the last book precisely to keep that happy ending intact for at least a moment.

Ye Olde Butcherede Middle Englishe: Spenser uses several archaisms to try to imitate the Middle English of Chaucer and his fourteenth century contemporaries, with varying degrees of success and failure. Several words with the "y-" prefix (used in Middle English to indicate the past participle, already more obsolete and exceedingly quaint by Spenser's time than "thou", for instance, is now) were made up by Spenser himself.

The Power of Love
 The Faerie Queene / int_6a696742
comment
The Power of Love: A major theme of the book is the greatness of love and its distinction from lust. Britomart's love for Arthegall is one of her major motivating factors in adventuring on and Spenser himself repeatedly describes love as the noblest thing in the world.

The Power of Rock: It is said the only thing short of God's intervention that can defeat discord wrought by demons is music. The narrator mentions this by reference to Orpheus playing his harp to bring peace to the Argonauts and David singing his psalms to alleviate the evils of Saul.

Unstoppable Rage: Prince Arthur reacts to his foot and hip getting stabbed by losing all composure and fighting off two opponents with incredible speed. The narrator even compares him to a raging bull or a starving lion desperate for food. The two knights can barely block all of his blows and they quickly fall to his fury.

Meaningful Name
 The Faerie Queene / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name: Some characters are simply named for their symbol, like Redcross the knight. Others have names in Canis Latinicus or Le Français des Chiens, such as Sansloy the rapist and Sansfoy the traitor ("lawless" and "faithless", respectively, spelled in an archaic way). Some names even have a double meaning. For example, Archimago could be translated as "archmage" or "arch image" (from the Latin imago), describing his identity as Evil Sorcerer and master of illusions.

Ugly All Along: Duessa, who is so cunning that she somehow manages to come off as beautiful until stripped of her trappings at the end, revealing that she is as hideous on the outside as she is inside. The juicy details given by Spenser include her bald, infected scalp; toothless, rotten gums; reeking breath, sagging breasts; genitals the details of which we are spared; a fox's tail covered with shit; and an eagle's talon and bear's foot.

Neutral Female: Una does nothing in the Final Battle except watch as the dragon claws, bites, and immolates Redcrosse to near-death. Earlier, she steps in to save Redcross from Despair and instructs him from the sidelines during his first battle with the Dragon Errour. The fact that she finally stays out of it is actually a sign that Redcross has matured enough to handle the fight on his own.

Retcon: After Spenser decided to expand the series beyond three books, he rewrote the ending so that Amoret and Scudamour do not reunite as soon as Britomart rescues her.

Nice Day, Deadly Night: Part of Prince Arthur's sleep-deprived rant is railing against the night for allowing thieves and murderers to hide their crimes and another part is praising the day for exposing such sins and striking fear to those who commit them.

Feathered Fiend: One of the many obstacles the witch sends against Guyon and friends as they sail to her lair is a horde of every evil bird you can think of. Predatory owls, Creepy Crows, stritchs, shrills, and even winged bats and harpies all harass the good guys as they near the end of their quest.

 The Faerie Queene / int_b58b4e3c
comment
Too Dumb to Live: Pyrrochles releases Furor and Occasion only to be fiercely attacked by him and suffers injuries that would have eventually killed him if not for Archimago's help. Later, he takes King Arthur's sword from Archimago despite warnings that he will not be able to slay its rightful owner with it, and predictably loses that fight. If he had taken Guyon's sword along with his shield (leaving Arthur's sword with Archimago), he and Cymochles would've likely won that fight (and slain Prince Arthur).

Forced Transformation: The knights that give in to Acrasia's advances and abandon all reason to lust are gradually transformed into wild animals fueled only by the base passions they succumbed to. The story is clearly borrowing from the episode in The Odyssey where Circe turns men into pigs, but the difference is that the men here are complicit in the process that turns them into animals.

comment
Allegorical Character: The protagonist of each book represents a different virtue. The Redcrosse Knight represents holiness, as made clear by the fact that he is constanly saved by the Crucial Cross on his shield, his humility, and his devotion to Una, who herself represents the truth. Sir Guyon represents temperance, which is made obvious since most of the villains he faces are Anthropomorphic Vices showing two extremes which he mediates. Dame Britomart represents chastity and most of her antagonists are seducers and rapists attempting to take advantage of women not armed like fair Britomart.

Embodiment of Virtue: Every character introduced in Canto XI is a personification of some virtue. Fidelia is seen teaching Redcrosse the Bible to represent one learning about God through their faith. Speranza gives him an anchor to hold him steady to represent hope keeping you from being moved by evil. Charissa entertains Redcrosse as he learns the ways of goodness and introduces him to Lady Mercie, representing both how love can bring joy and teach us to be kind to others. In the hospital, seven men are seen in service of God, each one representing one of the seven beatitudes from The Four Gospels.

Dragons Versus Knights: All of Canto XI is dedicated to the epic, two-day long battle between the Redcrosse Knight, armed with sword, shield, and lance, and the dragon, armed with its whole body. Since Redcrosee is a Knight in Shining Armor representing holiness, having his Final Battle be with a beast biblically associated with the Devil is quite fitting.

Walking Shirtless Scene: The personification of love, Charissa, is a rare female example. She's represented as beautiful mother who is shirtless since she's constantly breastfeeding her many children who she happily attends to.

Our Dragons Are Different: The dragon at the end is a terrifying red dragon who has captured the kingdom of Eden and eaten many of its inhabitants. It has wings like sails, a tail many fathoms long, and of course fire breath as hot as the flames of Hell. Notably, the dragon has no hoard of treasure to speak of.

Scrubbing Off the Trauma: Canto II begins with Guyon attempting to guiltily clean his hands of the blood of the couple he failed to save from poisoning and death, only for none of the blood to come off. Canto VII: The ghost of Pontius Pilate is trapped in the river Cocytus forever failing to wash his hands clean of Christ's blood.

Adaptation Origin Connection: The Prometheus myth repeated here identifies him not as the creator of humanity, but the creator of elvenkind.

Four Lines, All Waiting: While the other books almost exclusively focused on their protagonist, our hero Britomart is constantly Out of Focus during cantos that follow Marinell’s mother, Prince Arthur, Florimell, Timias, Paridell, and Malbecco.

Garden of Eden: The final cantos of Book I are set in Eden, which is imagined as a lush kingdom whose people are being plagued by a dragon. In the Allegory of the poem, Eden represents a just and pious society, while the dragon threatening it represents sin (especially Pride). The Bower of Bliss is a sensual imitation of the Garden of Eden set up by the temptress Acrasia to lower the guards of passing knights with its sheer beauty. It lacks the true glory of Eden, but since Eden was also the site of the original temptation, the comparison is apt.

The Archmage
 The Faerie Queene / int_f6ca5b54
comment
The Archmage: Archimago is an old man who is a master of all forms of magic due to his extreme knowledge and bargains with the Devil. His name was a combination of the Latin words arch (meaning "first") and imago (meaning "finalized form"), thus literally "first and final form", a subtle reference to Alpha and Omega, one of the titles of the Judeo-Christian God. Many scholars agree that, this being an allegory, the name is a clever tip-off to the fact that the character embodies religious hypocrisy. The term "archmage" is a later bastardization of the name, first by Shelley, and eventually by Le Guin who gave the name its present day spelling and connotations.

Insomnia Episode: A recurring trouble in Book III is characters being unable to sleep due to love-sickness: In Canto III, we hear about how Britomart had trouble sleeping for days after experiencing Love at First Sight out of a mix of fantasy, confusion, and guilt that eventually compels her to hunt down her love. In Canto IV, Arthur has a monologue that lasts through the night about how Dark Is Evil and the night brings out the worst of men's fears, regrets and sorrows that make it difficult for them to sleep anyway. The canto ends at dawn, with Arthur riding away completely exhausted.

Love Makes You Crazy

comment
Love Makes You Crazy: Timias temporarily loses his sanity, secluding himself in a cave, when Belphoebe thinks he cheated on her. Ironically, Belphoebe realizes how much he loves her when she finds him in this state. Also Marinell when he realizes Florimell is being held prisoner by Proteus, to the point where Cymodoce relents and gets Neptune to intervene.

comment
My Sister Is Off-Limits: Campbell kills pretty much anyone who courts his sister Canacee. He gives them the option to back down, but if they insist on being with her, they gotta duel him and they always lose.

Wouldn't Hit a Girl
 The Faerie Queene / int_fc45bac0
comment
Wouldn't Hit a Girl: While a pervert torturing a helpless Damsel in Distress for his own sadistic pleasure is despicable, a knight refusing to fight a Dark Action Girl Amazon queen who's trying to kill him is just stupid, as Artegall, the Knight of Justice with a strict code against fighting women, learns the hard way. Good thing his girlfriend comes to his rescue.

comment
The Corrupter: Mammon spends three days trying to convince Guyon to serve him and abandon temperance by arguing for the glory of gold, offering to betroth him to Ambition personified, and even offering him a Forbidden Fruit from the Underworld. Still, Guyon politely refuses him at every opportunity and leaves without falling prey to Mammon's guile.

Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Britomart's golden hair is often remarked upon and in a poem where Beauty Equals Goodness, serves as sign of kindness and love hidden under her courageous and fearsome helm.
