Perceval, following Gornemant's advice
not to speak, refrains from asking ques-
tions about the strange things he sees
during the Grail procession. What com-
ments does the narrator make about

do these comments reveal about the
narrator's judgment of Perceval's behav-
ior? What might the narrator's observa-
tions foreshadow about the future
consequences of Perceval's silence?
