Final

1) Yesult is smarter than anyone else in this case. She has an unreal ability to manipulate people and situations with her smart mouth. Her forked-tounge, again, got her out of a very tricky situation. She claims that she has only had two men between her thighs, which is one hundred percent true. However, by riding the leper (Tristan) into the trial proceedings, she makes it clear to everyone that this is who she is referring to, and it is almost a joke; she says that no other man has been between her thighs, when in reality, both men have been between her thighs in a sexual manner. She is able to trick everyone. She is not actually lying though, but is tricking as bad as lying? By manipulating the situation, by implying something other than the truth, does that make her as bad as a lier? In her words she is not lying, technically, but she is knowingly misinforming everyone. This is both dangerous, and dishonest, and I feel that it is as bad as lying. Her oath means nothing. She mine as well have lied.
2)I am very troubled by the vengence that Tristan. Murder is never justified, not even in the name of love. These barons, although decietful, nosy, and annoying, did not unjustly accuse Tristan and Yesult. They did not deserve to die. They could have been harmed, they could have been banished, but death is not necessary. Is love worth it? If you have to kill to keep it alive? It is one matter for no one to understand, appreciate, or condone your love; that does not matter on any level, as long as you and your lover have each other. However, i don't believe any love is strong enough to commit double homocide. Maybe I haven't been in a love strong enough, but to kill innocent men for no reason other than the fact that they have disrupted your relationship, seems not only harsh, but serial.
