Often, in literature, the body becomes a symbolic part of the story. The body can define the character, emphasize a certain motif in the story, or symbolize the state of mind of the author or society. The representation of the body becomes significant for the story. In the representation of their bodies in the Lais works “Lanval” and “Yonec” by Marie de France, the body is represented in opposing views. In "Lanval", France clearly emphasizes the pure beauty of the body and the power that ideal beauty, represented by Lanval's fairy queen, holds. In “Yonec,” she diverts the reader's attention from the image of the ideal body and emphasizes a body without a specific shape and a fluidity between forms. “Yonec” focuses on non-body-based love. Although the representations of the body contradict each other, France uses both representations to emphasize the private and, in some way, supernatural character of love which cannot be contained by the human world. In both cases, the love shared between the protagonists is something that must remain private and goes beyond a single world to another world. In “Lanval” in France, Marie de France emphasizes the ideal and pure body of the queen of the Lanval fairies. France describes the Queen of the Fairies as “elegant, her slender hips, her neck whiter than the snow on a branch, her brilliant eyes, her white face, a beautiful mouth…” (France, 109). The Fairy Queen is presented to the reader as the classic, ideal beauty who captures the attention and, unknowingly, the mind of her lover. After meeting the Queen of the Fairies, Lanval promises her his life. He declares: “There is nothing that you can command, in my power, that I would not do, whether foolish or wise. I will obey your command…” (France, 108). ...... middle of article ...... the tion of the two methods can be used to show the French idea of ​​what love is. Patrick John Ireland argued that the French idea of ​​love “is a human force controlled by man with great difficulty; it is a spontaneous, natural and devouring power, the experience of which sometimes leads to an almost blind passion” (133). To be in love, one must be completely devoted and passionate towards each other to the point of blind passion. This is the case of Yonec (the princess jumps from the tower) and Lanval (Lanval's total rejection of the human world until he is brought to his lover's world). Not only does France depict love as natural and all-consuming, but it also shows the private and supernatural nature of love that cannot be confined to the realm of the human world. On the contrary, love transcends the boundaries of the human world and enters a world where love reigns supreme..
