Song of Roland

  SONG OF ROLAND 1. When Ganelon is being brought to trial, he says “I avenged myself, but there is no treason in it” (l. 3777). Assume that he’s sincere. Reread the stanza and explain how Ganelon’s statement might be justified. You might compare Ganelon’s individual justification with Roland’s choice not to blow the horn, and explain the significance of the shared motivations between Ganelon and his stepson Roland.
