Abstract:
Although Tristan is depicted variously in the films comprising 'cinema Tristaniana,' one trait remains constant: his determination to complete the bridequest by handing Isolde over to Mark. In some cases, the Irish princess, following Wagner's Isolde, misuses the love potion by sharing it not with Mark, but with his nephew, in an attempt to break the youth's will. (JTG)
