Summary "Le roman de la rose - Tome III" by Guillaume de Lorris and Jean de Meung is a medieval allegorical poem written in the 14th century. This work is part of a larger narrative that explores themes of love, beauty, and desire, reflecting the complexities of courtly love through its rich symbolism and characters. The text introduces major themes such as the challenges associated with love, represented through the interactions and dialogues among personified characters like Wealth (Richesse) and the Lover (L'Amant). The opening of this volume presents a scenario where the Lover encounters a figure named Wealth at a beautiful fountain in a garden setting. He seeks her assistance to access the castle, which is guarded by Jalousie (Jealousy). Wealth initially rebuffs the Lover, highlighting the harsh realities and conditions one faces when pursuing love, particularly the limitations imposed by social status and riches. The dialogue emphasizes the fickleness of wealth and the inevitable downfall it can lead to, setting a tone that intertwines the ideals of romantic pursuits with social commentary, and establishing a narrative of striving toward love amidst various societal barriers.
