That's a shame. I have a tenth-- or maybe eleventh-- grade essay arguing that Tristan and Iseult is about how good intentions can lead to terrible outcomes. That probably sounds reasonable to you, but, actually, as an example, I cited the "fact" that the entire story was accidentally masterminded by sentient birds as evidence of my point.
(On that topic, you cannot convince me that the lepers weren't secretly planning to release Iseult. Otherwise, the story is just too problematic.)
