However, the greatest love affair in this novel is not between Lancelot and Guenever, but between Lancelot and God, whose love eventually wins over the great knight.
There is, foremost, Lancelot and Guenever's affair, but there is also Arthur's blind love of his best knight, Gawaine Agravane's violent love of their mother Merlyn's inescapable love for Nimue Elaine's hopeless (and eventually deadly) love for Lancelot and Galahad's love of his own righteousness. The novel abounds in different strains of love and lovers. As The Sword in the Stone examines educational issues and The Queen of Air and Darkness explores political ones, The Ill-Made Knight is a novel whose focus is love - including, but not limited to, the forbidden love of Lancelot and Guenever.
