 |1911|Lloyd,​ E.J.\\ //*voice\\ *women / Manawydan//​|'​The value placed on conversational power is repeatedly emphasised in these tales; thus Pryderi mentions Rhiannon'​s skill in this direction when suggesting to Manawyddan the advisability of marrying her.'

(p. 236)|
 |1911|Lloyd,​ E.J.\\ //​*character//​|'​Pryderi and Manawyddan contrasted, the latter being described as a cautious and wary person, rather (p. 235) given to cunning, and prudent in all his negotiations. Pryderi, on the other hand, is more truly Celtic perhaps, being impulsive and hot-tempered,​ and easily driven to act rashly and thoughtlessly. The difference in their characters is revealed in the way Pryderi wishes to resort to arms immediately on learning that they were threatened by the saddlers and shoemakers, and his impetuosity is restrained by Manawyddan who points out the folly and futility of his proposal.'​ (pp. 234-35)| |1911|Lloyd,​ E.J.\\ //​*character//​|'​Pryderi and Manawyddan contrasted, the latter being described as a cautious and wary person, rather (p. 235) given to cunning, and prudent in all his negotiations.

 +|1911|.Lloyd,​ E.J.\\ //​*character *place//​|'​Although the story of Pwyll bears a very close relation to the Rhiannon legend, yet she herself was most probably not /p. 174 regarded as a native of Dyfed, for we are told that, after her marriage at her father'​s court, she and Pwyll set out towards Dyfed. It is quite possible that legends concerning Rhiannon prevailed in the districts of Maesyfed and Ardudwy, for Eveydd, the name of Rhiannon'​s father, still survives in the name Maesyfed, for Maes Hyveyd, and in the Mabinogi of Branwen the fabulous birds of Rhiannon are connected with Harlech in Ardudwy.'​ (pp. 173-74)|

Branwen, on the other hand, has no scruple about sending a message to her brother asking him to avenge her wrong, although the punishment inflicted upon her was not nearly so heavy as that which Rhiannon bore so quietly.'​ (p. 235)| |1911|.Lloyd,​ E.J.\\ //​*character\\ *moral *women//​|'​Rhiannon is the perfect lady, who, rather than condescend to wrangle with the women who had wronged her, prefers to suffer in silence.

Teyrnon unhesitatingly deciding to restore Gwri, ... showing a keen sense of duty and appreciation of what was fitting. ... But, after all, their code of morals was rather a strange one, for although they were so scrupulous over the sacredness of a promise, yet they sanctioned the disgraceful and mean treatment which Pwyll dealt to Gwawl, on the occasion of their second meeting' ​ (p. 235)| |1911|Lloyd,​ E.J.\\ //​*character\\ *moral//​|'​From the Mabinogion we see that justice, truthfulness,​ and straightforwardness seem to have been qualities greatly admired by the Welsh.
