Percival Day One

The problem with Percival as of right now is that he believes being a Knight is something superficial. He looks up to it as someone who goes around, fights wars, slays dragons, so on and so forth. His image of a Knight is more then likely distorted by his youth and the stories told to him and the way he sees the world in his youth. Chretien gives us a character to develop and find out what /real/ Knighthood is, a common theme throughout his works.

When Percival goes to become a Knight, he is given tasks. He must get the armor of the Red Knight. It's kind of redundant, but it teaches him that using force all the time and battling her, there, and everywhere may not be the right way to becoming a knight.
