Love is enough
'Love is enough' Summary
The story begins with Geoffrey, a young knight, pledged to serve King Arthur. He is deeply in love with Enid, a beautiful woman of noble lineage. However, Geoffrey is torn between his devotion to the king and his yearning for a life of love with Enid. As he grapples with this internal conflict, Enid undergoes a profound transformation, finding strength and independence through her unwavering faith in Geoffrey. The poem beautifully weaves together scenes of courtly love, acts of chivalry, and moments of introspection, all set against the backdrop of a romanticized medieval England. Morris's poetic language is rich and evocative, capturing the beauty of nature and the complexities of human emotion. Throughout the story, Morris uses the tale of Geoffrey and Enid to explore themes of social justice and the importance of individual fulfillment, reflecting his own socialist ideals and his critique of the inequalities of his time.Book Details
