Setting:
-
It
mentions Camelot, [a mysterious idealistic magical place]
-
It
mentions the hermits old cave [another magical place]
-
It
mentions the Manor house of Sir Bernard in Astolat,
-
Other
than that the setting is pretty much not really mentioned because they did not
focus on setting in the Romance, [French Romances]
-
There
was a battle, Lancelot kills the giant, he finds a cave, he rests until his
wounds get better, he moves to Astolat, he stays until he decides to go back to
Camelot for the competition and wins it. All this happens yet there is no
specific mentioning of time.
-
If
the characters are Idealistic, and the places are fantastical, also their deeds
or tasks are heroic then I don’t really think there is any theme whatsoever in
these types of stories. Except that “perfect people being perfect at what they
do, in perfect places.”
-

Lancelot helps in the battle against Sir Turquine.

Knights
of the round table wonder where he is after the battle ends because he doesn’t
