And Julie Andrews was unbelievably charismatic. Her desire to “cause a little war” was no more “wrong” than Maria VonTrapp going up to the mountains to sing. She wasn’t vain or flirty, she just hadn’t settled. And when she sees Lancelot bring that knight back from the dead, it’s not simply that she “falls in love” with him. It’s that, for the first time in her life, she sees a greater truth than she had ever thought possible.

I agree. Guenevere is not perfect (who is? lol), certainly not at the start. The seemingly flip way she wishes for things in "Simple Joys Of Maidenhood" and "Take Me To The Fair" are not calculated evil, just that she has to grow to the realization that "sport" and reality are not the same. I would also tend to assume that when Lionel is mortally wounded in "The Joust," this is something she has never actually experienced before, and makes her realize just how horrible it is.
