Arthur's War: A Short Story

As Cecil Dimble searches for Merlin in the woods, he recalls the ancient "houses whose mortar had been ritually mixed with babies' blood" (Lewis, p. 233), reminding readers about the early stories of Vortigern's vanishing tower and the druids' plot to destroy the young Merlin by having his blood spread on the foundation. When Ransom's friendly bear, Mr. Bultitude, destroys the awful severed head through which the leaders of the N.I.C.E. (National Institute of Controlled Experiments) receive instructions from the evil "eldils," or spirits, Lewis seems to be referring to Arthur's dream in Geoffrey's Historia where a bear and a dragon fight together. There the bear is slain, but here he is victorious against the supernatural beast he fights against.

But, the definite solution of this panic was the King Arthur’s word to Guinevere, “Dear lady, don’t be daunted by this deed today,/ it’s in keeping that such strangeness should occur at Christmas/ between sessions of banter and seasonal song,/ amid the lively pastimes of ladies and lords” (470-73). The king Arthur’s single comment for relaxing Guinevere also relaxes the whole atmosphere of the court. Though Guinevere is described as weak character, but she was the very important character for symbolize the great stability of King Arthur’s court.

The Sovereignty of Guinevere in Medieval Arthurian Romance I will be looking at the sovereignty of Guinevere in medieval romance focusing on Launfal, and The Wife of Bath’s Tale. I will look at her as both instigator of trouble in Sir Launfal and as the power behind the throne in The Wife of Bath’s Tale. Sir Launfal, Sir Launfal is slighted by not receiving a gift from the queen at her and Arthur’s wedding feast: “Everych knyght sche gaf broche other ryng,But Syr Launfal sche yaf nothing” Launfal (70-71). So Sir Launfal makes up a lie about his father being dead to leave court. “That deth hadde hys fadyr ynome, he most to hys beryynge,” (Launfal 77-78), He spends about seven years, giving away all his money to the point that he is poor and

A king was expected to sit on his throne, give demands to his people and rule his kingdom. It is unheard of for a medieval King to charge around on his horse and organize knights or to look for the Holy Grail. According to the information that has been given; King Arthur has fought in twelve battles. However, based on the facts, these battles took place in so many different times and places that it would have been impossible for one man to participate in all of them. The actions of King Arthur do not correspond with the typical actions of a king because after the death of his mother, Merlin (the powerful wizard) took him away. Merlin gave young Arthur away to Sir Ector, who raised young Arthur as his son. However, Sir Ector did not know that young Arthur was the son of Uther Pendragon (King of Britain). Eleven years later, the young Arthur ends up pulling the sword out of the stone and becomes the king of Britain. For a kid to pull the sword out of the stone subsequently and being crowned after that event is very extraordinary.

In some ways, Arthur would not be Arthur without Guinevere. Her intricate association with King Arthur and his court gives her agency and control. The adulterous love triangle between Lancelot, Guinevere, and Arthur has been demonstrated in multiple variations to lead to dysfunction and usurpation in the kingdom. Tennyson introduces Guinevere in this light, however Arthur’s source of motivation shifts away from her and to his knighthood. His exchange of focus from Queen to knighthood removes the influence her entity had on his motivations, himself, and perceptions of how to successfully rule the kingdom. Through unseemly situations, Tennyson presents the idea that Guinevere is a key to the destruction of Arthur’s Kingdom, not its success. The real success of the court lies in its unity and the perfect cohesion of every essential member in the court.

There are countless versions of the legend of King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table. Most English versions are based on Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, but where did these tales originate, and what different interpretations are there today? This essay seeks to examine the roots and different renditions of the various legends circulating today. The first section deals with the origins of the legend. The second section speculates on who the "real" King Arthur could have been. A comparison of several different versions, and suggestions of why they differ are given in the third section, and the conclusion presents an analysis on the ambiguity of the legend.

Queen Guinevere’s character was more about being royal and doing as she wanted. She was married to King Arthur. She was above all of the wrongs that she has done and shows no signs of sadness, even when she is sad (page 632). She has an affair with Sir Launcelot without King Arthur knowing about it. She causes conflicts among the knights and the King. Both men are so in love with Queen Guinevere. Sir Launcelot throughout the story does battle for Queen Guinevere, while showing King Arthur his loyalty.

Although King Arthur is one of the most well-known figures in the world, his true identity remains a mystery. Attempts to identify the historical Arthur have been unsuccessful, since he is largely a product of fiction. Most historians, though, agree that the real Arthur was probably a battle leader of the Britons against the Anglo-Saxons in the sixthth century. In literature, King Arthur's character is unique and ever changing, taking on a different face in every work. There is never a clearly definitive picture that identifies Arthur's character. It is therefore necessary to look at a few different sources to get better insight into the character of Arthur, the once and future king.
