Question

Reread the headnote that explains what has occurred earlier in the romance. How does Launcelot’s past behavior lead to the conflict and the moral dilemma he faces in the siege of Benwick?

Answer 1

Lancelot's past behavior, specifically, his secret love affair with Queen Guinevere directly generates the conflict and the moral dilemma that he faces in the siege of Benwick.

The illicit relationship of Queen Guinevere with Lancelot was exposed by Sir Gawain.  This treason caused King Arthur to condemn Queen Guinevere to death at the stake.

The death sentence then motivated Lancelot to rescue her.  In this process, he killed Gawain's relations.  Thus, Lancelot was further exposed to additional moral dilemma.  His actions inflated the revengeful grudge of Gawain against Lancelot.

While Lancelot worked to reconcile with the wronged King Arthur, Gawain was bent on revenge and succeeded in murdering Lancelot and burying him in a wrong place.

"Thus, Lancelot was further exposed to AN additional moral dilemma."
