    Japan's Biomes

    The quest of the Sangreal in Le Morte D'Arthur depicts several of the characteristics of Medieval Romance.

Sir Launcelot's attempt at the grail begins on page 387, and the ensuing events show the knight as the tale's protagonist. Another key element of this literature was the notion of a quest and the physical and mental struggles involved in it. In portraying the fundamental characteristic of the quest, Malory writes of Sir Galahad and his pursuit of the Holy Grail. Sir Galahad's quest tested every facet of his character, but the spiritual rewards were received in the end.

Since his quest was over, his wish was granted, and angels lifted his soul to heaven.…
