What is the typical elements of romance that you find in this book

Variations of love/ romance exist within Le Morte d’Arthur. The most immediate is that which the Knights of the Round Table have for Arthur, a love that helps the fellowship stay strong. There is also the love of God, which inspired the Knights to attempt the difficult task of finding the Sangreal. Love of family is prevalent, whether characters were defending or avenging family members. Perhaps the most dominant form of love within the text is courtly love, which by its definition encourages knights to perform acts of valor in honor of their lady, who is usually a married woman of noble birth. Launcelot often engaged in combat in the Queen’s defense, or for her honor. Malory’s courtly love varies from the traditional usage by refusing to delve into a character's inner feelings and instead allowing the love affairs to be clearly based in lust.

The main exception to this involves Launcelot's feelings. While the narrator does compare their love to the flourishing of spring, the story reveals the dire consequences of illicit, sexual love. Launcelot and Guenever’s affair contributes to the downfall of the kingdom. Overall, there is rarely easy love within Le Morte d’Arthur, and even the basic code of courtly love is complicated throughout the narrative.
