Lancelot: In famous Arthurian legends, Lancelot is considered to be the bravest of all the knights. He is handsome and very charming, having a charisma that puts everyone around him at ease. King Arthur and him are considered to be very close friends, along with Sir Gawain. The most famous stories that feature Lancelot are the Holy Grail and his widely known affair with Arthur’s wife, Guinevene. The betrayal to his best friend drives Lancelot to a point of insanity. He goes on missions where he would be gone months at a time in order to prevent the succumbing to his temptation. After the death of Guinevene, Lancelot lives out his life as a hermit. In the newly popular drama, Secret life of an American Teenager, a girl name Amy is pregnant after having sex for the first time at band camp with a guy name Ricky. Her very sensible and long time friend Lauren convinces Amy to break the news to her parents. It is seen later in the show; however that Lauren ends up making out with Ricky in his car. Lauren tries to admit to Amy what she had done, without any success. The betrayal between Lauren and Amy is very similar to the betrayal between Lancelot and Arthur. The best friend of the protagonist ends up committing adultery with their significant others. Just as Lancelot tried to tell Arthur about his infidelity, as did Lauren. They both, however, becomes timid and withdraws from it.
