Erer and Enide Response

1. For starters we see that Enide is finally speaking. Unfortunately for her she starts expressing her opinions around Erec who obviously doesn't really know what to make of it. She also starts to show her wisdom we've been hearing about but never witnessed until now. When she tricked the count into thinking that she was going to leave Erec for dead and leave with him. She also was kind of sneaky the way she sort of double crossed the count. When she's trying to protect Erec she always speaks out looking to do the right thing. When she warns Erec about the various thugs trying to rob and beat him despite his warnings not to speak. We get to see how she feels about the relationship that's going on right now and shows she actually cares for Erec on a certain level. Whether it's really love yet is debatable but she does have affection.

3. I think Erecs journey was about discovery. I think he's trying to prove Enide's relationship with him. When she says that he is unfortunate and being ridiculed because of her i think he gets suspicious in whether or not she's making up an excuse for crying in the bed and talking behind his back or if she's really there for him. I think he was trying to intimidate her or try to get her to play her role. When he keeps telling her to not speak unless spoken to, i feel as if it was a test of faithfulness to him. He loves her no matter what which is why he keeps forgiving her every time she speaks out of turn. He seems to be trying to put her back in her place.
