Judges

Question 1

Plot summary for judges

Answer 1

Jeanette and Katy’s relationship revealed. Jeanette leaves home and church.​

Question 2

Metanarrative summary for judges

Answer 2

Sir Perceval narratives (hero of Arthurian legend and keeper of the Holy Grail) – the quest to leave King Arthur’s court to seek the Holy Grail to find peace and harmony.​

This meta-narrative has echoes of the earlier fantasy sections also. ​

Sir Perceval represents Jeanette – her quest for identity. His feelings represent Jeanette’s unspoken feelings of love and loyalty to her mother and her sense of loss at her mother’s betrayal. ​

King Arthur here represents her mother – reflects on his sorrow of Sir Perceval leaving and his longing for his return. ​

Theme of ‘exile’ comes out here – exile from her mother and church and the pain this entails.​
