 | | Ganelon is in chains, and the verdict is rendered in his description before the trial is concluded: "Dés or cumencet le plait e les noveles / De Guenelun, ki traïsun ad faite" (3747-48; "So begins the trial, and the troubles of Ganelon, who committed treason"). |
 | | Ganelon is described in the stock manner reserved for pagans: "S'il fust leials, ben resemblast barun" (3764; "If he had been loyal, he would have resembled a noble"). |
 | | Although Ganelon is killed, in his insistence on an individual notion of injury, and his right to his own defense in terms reasonable to himself, he promotes a notion of individual subjectivity, breaking away from the group, shared, extended subjectivity. |
