I see many similarities to Perceval in Part three of the text. We learn that Angelica leads a secret second life as a stripper/ show girl. The knight (Perceval/Persse) is being exposed to deviance and the sexual world, while discovering his ultimate grail. For Persse, it is recognition as a professor of literature and the love of his maiden, Angelica. He is having his innocence shed from his while on his quest for Angelica and as he gets more emerged in culture of the conferences. Nothing ever is as it seems. He wants to somehow save Angelica, to keep her innocence and well being, although it is completely out of Persse's hands; instead ,like Perceval, he loses himself. Persse looks for Angelica until he is not longer able, and he must travel back to a place he is familiar, and, re-evaluate his work.
