Bree of Tarth from A Song of Fire and Ice better
known as the Game of Thrones Series. Game of
Thrones is a popular television show which
is on its third season on HBO but it is an adaption of the book series which
has released 5 books by George R. Martin. Bree is a women who is so ugly and
man like that her powerful father outcast her from his family. She responded by
being a lot like Britomart and killing every opponent she comes up against. She
further parallels Britomart when she fought the most powerful/best looking
knight in the realm Sir Jamie Lannister. Like Britomart and Amoret, Bree and
Jamie fight nearly to the death and after the fight end up being bound to each
other by a sort of love. Her and Jamie
end up being in a kind of courtly love like we discussed in which Jamie saves
Bree from rape and Bree saves Jamie from having to fight a hungry bear. There
are endless examples of knightly behavior and King Arthur parallels in the
books.

Frodo in the one ring and King Arthur and
Excalibur. Both are destined only for only one person. We saw a few examples of
Arthur pulling the sword from the stone and they were big moments which
consisted of a light shining down from heaven and epic music playing. A similar
thing happens when Frodo agrees to take the ring to Mordor. He can see the “All
Seeing Eye” and loud music begins to play and everyone at the council is yelling
then it slows down and Frodo says “I will take the ring.”
