Knightmare for Soul-Searching

[KaM]

I think this is the first time since I joined the forum a long time back that I've felt that something I had to say warranted a topic. I may well, of course, be grossly mistaken in thinking this does [And apologies to those who see this in any way as cross-posting].

I've been looking for a way to explain the paradox that has been circling in my head for the past few months. I tried alluding to the research material I work with in seventeenth-century literature, and that worked to an extent, but I think it has landed with a sequence in my beloved KM; in particular, one found through an earlier contribution to this forum. Inevitably, any parallel I was searching for would either have to involve the confusion, i.e. a quest that I did not understand, or the move to solution, i.e. a quest where I thought I may have seen a chink of light where others might not. The answer was a combination of the two, sparked by revisiting a wonderful thread on Chris' team in Series 5 [http://www.knightmare.com/forum/viewtop ... f=14&t=860] and the excellent debate that took place.

I'd be delighted if anybody interested would like to follow the thought process further at my blog. [http://royalarbor.wordpress.com/2009/07/30/knightmare/] I'd also be fascinated to learn of other instances where scenes, episodes, quests or characters in Knightmare have provoked some measure of soul-searching or self-understanding. Or am I just completely off my trolley?

Wishing everyone well, with peace, harmony, et al.
