Although I do disagree about the show in general and Guenevere's character in particular, you support your opinions very well.
By the way, I think one important thing to keep in mind is that, in the original stage version of the the show, at least, I believe we are supposed to think that Guenevere and Lancelot never sexually consummate their relationship, out of respect for Arthur. This was not the case in the movie, where during "If Ever I Would Leave You" we see a montage of scenes that make it clear they have begun a sexual relationship (without actually showing it, of course, as this was a musical film released by a major studio in 1967). And in the pared-down version of the show that has been staged in several places in recent years, and which I saw at the Two River Theater in NJ, there was at the end of Act I a scene of partial nudity that showed us the two characters have become sexually involved. |
