Week 13 Reading Notes B: Fairie Queen: Britomart unit

I did not like the ending of this story, how we did not find out what happened to Amoret, and how Britomart became this wooing wife who could not stand to see her husband go and was literally making up excuses for him not to leave. Why couldn't they go on the quest together? She had obviously proven her skill with a sword and could take care of herself, she did even better in the tournament than her husband. I just hate that after all this time they could not give her a better ending. And she did not even get to keep her best friend, but rather she got stolen in the desert or something like that.
I am interested in writing a story with a different ending, maybe Britomart sees Artegall and while he is beautiful and everything that the mirror showed her, there was nothing beneath the surface. She had fallen in love with her idea of him, the dream she had made up in her head of him since she was a child. But now that she had been on this adventure and found out that she can take care of herself, she realized that he was not what she needed to fulfill herself. So instead of just running off and marrying him, she goes and finds Amoret, and deals with the loss of this driving quest that has been leading her for her entire life. And then maybe she finds that knight that she met at the castle from the first half of the unit, because they were actually friends and genuinely enjoyed each other's company. But wait he was committed to his wife (maybe she dies, sad) but I just want it to be deeper than "she was so pretty and he fell in love"
