Day Two
3. Yvain Loses his mind and runs mad naked through the woods, Losing his humanity with the loss of his Love. Being that his wife represents language it is not surprising that without the most human of the arts Yvain is driven to beast like behavior. He comes across a hermit giving him unleavened bread out of pity and is eventually found and cured through a special ointment.

I'd like to push you a little further in your response here. Lunete represents language, and we could say to a certain extent Laudine is the embodiment of love within the text. What do you make of this madness, the episode with the hermit, and this 'cure'?
