Our analysis aims to identify the hierarchical relationship be- tween the chivalric coherence and the marvellous aspects of the magic carole motif, according to the principle of double coherence (chivalric and mythi- cal) stated by Jean Fourquet. From the point of view of mythical coherence, the magic carole has specific characteristics that are related to archaic con- ceptions of space and time: inside the carole, time seems to be suspended, if not to be inscribed in a mythical dimension; the knight who join the danse loses the memory of his quest, as well as of everything and anyone outside it. From the point of view of courtly or chivalric coherence, the magic carole represents, for the knight, the risk of diverting from the heroic progression to remain in a feminine and erotic prison.

Abstract
Our analysis aims to identify the hierarchical relationship be- tween the chivalric coherence and the marvellous aspects of the magic carole motif, according to the principle of double coherence (chivalric and mythi- cal) stated by Jean Fourquet. From the point of view of mythical coherence, the magic carole has specific characteristics that are related to archaic con- ceptions of space and time: inside the carole, time seems to be suspended, if not to be inscribed in a mythical dimension; the knight who join the danse loses the memory of his quest, as well as of everything and anyone outside it. From the point of view of courtly or chivalric coherence, the magic carole represents, for the knight, the risk of diverting from the heroic progression to remain in a feminine and erotic prison.Pubblicazioni consigliate
