The Wild Man Sir Tristan (Tristram)
- Role: The Passionate Knight and Tragic Lover
- Tristan is one of the greatest knights of the Round Table, but his tragic love for Isolde leads to personal and societal ruin.
- Symbolism: He represents the power and danger of unrestrained passion. His story is a cautionary tale about the cost of love when it conflicts with duty.
- Wildness: Tristan’s connection to music, nature, and the wild places of the world also makes him an archetypal "wild man," living on the margins of Camelot’s chivalric order.
