C'est tellement la chanson "le dernier adieu" de la comédie musicale Graal que ça me brise le cœur 😭
anyway, what I realized I hate about the thing that a lot of modern Arthurian adaptations, especially ones that cast Guinevere in the standard rebellious princess mould, do, which is have Guinevere only really loving Lancelot and being forced to marry Arthur for expediency, is that it diminishes the problem.
The problem is that Guinevere loves both of them and that she is not allowed to have both of them; that Arthur so loves Guinevere and Lancelot that he is able to willfully blind himself to their love; and that Lancelot loves Arthur as his liege lord, and Guinevere so much that he has to betray Arthur. Why would you flatten all that to a forced marriage and a single true love?
