Just a quick entry for right now... Still need to read the next part of Song of Roland for Tuesday, but it has my interest. In class we talked about how many different symbols for Christianity were included in the Song of Roland. One of the examples that I remembered was how the numbers 3 and 12 seem to show up a lot (Charlemagne's 12), and also how the the Christians would die a heroic death and be delivered straight to heaven while the Saracens would die brutally and be dragged off to Hell by demons.
While reading our next portion of the book for Tuesday we were advised to pay attention to how each person died, so I will look forward to doing that and adding more to my blog once I have something new to write about.
Until then.
