There are many similarities between Marie de France's stories of passionate love, social obligation, betrayal, remorse, forgiveness, and Abelard's recounting of his own "misfortunes." Abelard and Heloise are, indeed, a pair of lovers as famous as Dante and Beatrice or Romeo and Juliet.
But this is not titled "The Story of My Love" or "My Love for Heloise" -- it's a recounting of his misfortunes. How do you think that this title affects the reading? How would you describe his attitude (or his emotions) in this reading?

Weekly Wiki
This time I also need a weekly WIKI, and I will need one for each week.
Students will choose a short excerpt / quote from one of the readings of that week, type it in, then add a short (150 words or so) explanation for your choice. Was your selection important because it:
• is an example of beautiful or striking language?
• exemplifies a particular theme or character?
• makes the reader think about something in a new way?
• reflects a particular aspect of French culture?
• was just something that you liked?
Try not to use the same quote that your groupmates else already has; if you must, make sure that what you say about it is original.
