Shield of Three Lions (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780609809464) Kaufman, Pamela Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Random House USA Inc, 2002. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 203 x 134 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. 1. Enoch strikes Alix as an outlandish savage when he first enters the story. #8220;Mounted on a monstrous plodding white mule, he looked to be a bull more than a man--a huge menacing form emitting deafening shrieks. #8221; What do you think of Enoch? How does Kaufman use Enoch#8217;s sense of humor as a device to develop his character? Why does he immediately commit to protecting Alix as they begin their journey? Is it his kind heart or his keen opportunism at work? 2. Young Alix#8217;s initiation into the world of sex is the brutal rape and murder of her friend and milk-sister, Maisry. She then goes on to witness bawdy whorehouses, desperately unhappy but necessary royal couplings, Enoch#8217;s casual sexual dalliances, the licentious attentions of her pedophile king, and Queen Eleanor#8217;s #8220;Rules#8221; governing ecstatic, adulterous love. Combined with memories of her own parents#8217; happy marriage, these contradictory messages about sex leave Alix totally confused. Does she ever sort it all out? 3. In the first seventy pages of the novel, Alix lies to Dame Margery about why Maisry died, lies to her father about how her mother died, and lies to Enoch about splitting Wanthwaite with him. Are these lies justified, or does Alix have a problem dealing with the truth? Do her lies ever cause real trouble? Her adventure comes full circle when she lies about being raped by Lord Roland, thereby causing his death and avenging her mother and Maisry. Could she have cornered him any other way? Do you think she does the right thing? 4. What guidance does Alix#8217;s mother provide her from beyond the grave? Is it useful? 5. In Paris, Enoch and Alix study law with the famous Master Malcolm. What does Alix learn during his lectures that she uses later? Why does Enoch insist that they take the time to study despite their rush toward the king? 6. What does Zizka want with Alix? Why is she perfect for the job at hand? What advice does Zizka give Alix before her private audience with the king? Does she heed it? Is she correct in her hunch that Zizka feels guilty about something? 7. What does Alix learn about love, politics, and women#8217;s rights from Princess Alais of France? What is the significance of Alais#8217;s comment, #8220;#8217;Tis a glorious occasion,#8221; as she watches Richard#8217;s entry into Paris? Why does Alix repeat the same comment as she attends Richard#8217;s wedding to Berengaria more than a year later? 8. Despite her naivet? and lack of experience, Alix is a solid judge of character. She can see Richard#8217;s duplicities, his cruelties as a ruler, and his weaknesses as a man. Why does she still fall for him? 9. What grave mistake does Alix make when she begs Richard for a writ naming her the sole heir to Wanthwaite? What advantage would she have gained had she presented Enoch to Richard as her older brother? Is it greed or ignorance that guides her? Does Richard have any intention of bestowing Wanthwaite on her when her tenure as a page is over? 10. When Wanthwaite is sacked by Osbert, Lord of Northumberland, why does Alix#8217;s father insist that she go to King Henry for help, rather than to the local Assize court for intervention? What makes him think Henry will care? What law has Osbert broken? 11. From the very opening of the story, when Alix convinces Maisry that they #8220;deserve#8221; a forbidden outing despite the danger, we see Alix#8217;s sense of self-importance and entitlement. Does she grow out of her self-absorption? 12. A very fine line separates Alix#8217;s hatred for Enoch, and her adoration of him. She manages to blame him for nearly every misadventure in the novel, yet she can#8217;t function without him. Do you think she is too hard on him? Does he love her all along, or does his love blossom after he realizes she#8217;s a girl? 13. Richard is a master of transformation, shifting from ruthless warrior to gracious host to lovesick boy, and bac.
