- Not only is Britomart dressing up as a man, it seems she has a lot of boy like qualities as well. This is a very interesting role reversal.
- Wait what happened to King Arthur and Sir Guyon?? Did she not follow after them?
- They should make an action movie about Britomart. She is awesome.
- This does seem very Shakespearian.
- BUT SERIOUSLY HOW HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF HER BEFORE?
- Her love for Artegall is so cute.
- I have always loved Merlin. I mean how can you not.
- Why didn't Merlin say how they would meet ??
- This might be one of my favorite readings from this class. I had no idea this heroine even existed and I just keep getting more and more impressed by her.
- There are some many gallant adventures going on at once it's hard to keep up.
- Ugh cliffhanger. I just want to see her meet Artegall.

Reading Diary A: Faerie Queen - Britomart
This is a Reading Diary that details my thoughts first section of the Fairie Queen: Britomart unit. Story source: Stories from the Faerie Queene by Mary Macleod, with drawings by A. G. Walker (1916).

Jenny, just to say that I am so glad you like this unit!!! The stories in Faerie Queene are so wonderful, but the poetry is kind of intimidating, so the book is not so well known. I was really excited to find this version of the stories in prose! You might enjoy looking at the other stories... but I knew right away Britomart was the one I wanted to include. :-)
