Brian de-Bois-Guilbert - His Passions



   Because Rebecca was so beautiful, Lucas Beaumanoir started to feel pity for her and he started to relent from his meanness.  He appointed Brian de-Bois-Guilbert as the man to fight for the temple against the man whom Rebecca would chose to fight for her cause.  

   Rebecca sent a peasant to find her father and tell him to find someone to fight for her.  The peasant went and found Isaac with his friend another Jew.  When Isaac heard the news of his daughter he threw himself upon the ground and threw dust in his hair and tore his clothes.  His friend tried to comfort him, but to no avail.   


   Meanwhile, Brian was trying to get Rebecca to listen to him and to let him save her.  He tried to talk to her and to tell her that he would not fight for the temple even if it meant losing all his fame, but she was not thankful and tried to make him relent, which just made him upset.  He left her cell and met up with Albert Malvoisin who persuaded him to stay and fight for the temple and Brian listened to him.

  1. Why do you think Rebecca would not listen to Bois-Gilbert?
