Guinevere's name "has been suggested to be a corruption of the word 'guanhumara' which is a development of the Welsh word 'gwenhwyfar,' meaning 'more faithless'...it is also believed by some to be of Irish origin" ("Guinever").
Queen Guinevere's reputation is tarnished, however, by her love for Sir Lancelot, who was "…supreme, both in prowess at arms and in nobility of bearing…also the favorite of Queen Gwynevere, to whom he had sworn oaths of fidelity" (118).
Guinevere in this story marries Arthur of her own free will, and even says that she wants to love him for who he is, but it is obvious that her love for him does not come easily, and her infatuation with Lancelot grows after he rescues her from repeated kidnappings.

 Review: Guinevere
And, while this isn't the first time the quality of Polley's acting has generated raves (she had a key role in The Sweet Hereafter and has been in the business since 1985, when she was six years old), it is her most visible part to date.
