Ivanhoe, Chapter 28: samenvatting

Wat er gebeurt

1. Rebecca persuades Isaac to rescue Ivanhoe and uses the medical knowledge Miriam teaches her to treat his wounds.
2. Ivanhoe’s admiration cools when Rebecca identifies herself as Jewish, but she continues caring for him and rejects payment.
3. Rebecca reports Prince John’s ambitions and Gurth’s imprisonment, then calms Ivanhoe and prepares him for travel.
4. Isaac’s hurried pace angers his hired guards, who desert when danger approaches; the travelers fall into De Bracy’s hands.
5. De Bracy learns Ivanhoe’s identity and conceals him as a wounded companion rather than freeing him or exposing him.
6. At Torquilstone, Front-de-Bœuf sends Ivanhoe’s guards to defend the castle, and Ulrica yields his care to Rebecca.
