In the first book of The Faerie Queene, readers get to follow along with Una and the Redcrosse Knight as they travel throughout the land to defeat a monster. Afterward, they’re separated by a conniving wizard and are forced to survive on their own. Once they’re reunited, the story culminates in the knight venturing out to the castle of Una’s parents that is under siege by a giant dragon. Full of symbolism and allegory, the story ultimately is about Redcrosse’s journey from a mediocre knight to a valiant savior.
