“Another one of the choices I made to depart from most of the legends was to have Isolde remain alive at the end of the story. I didn’t wanna write a woman who falls apart at the death of Tristan because I think it’s a way to distinguish her as a character from…you know, from sort of other romantic portrayals of women like her.”

- Dean Georgaris, writer of Tristan & Isolde (2006)
