If he were to grip Wart, Wart would not leave his grip alive. The rooks are very brave and show their courage in how they mob hawks even though they are smaller and nowhere near as strong as the hawk. Wart shows he shares the same characteristic through the test the hawks force him into, where he proves he is very courageous just like rooks. It is later learned from the Wart that rooks enjoy “Making rude remarks and pouncing on each other in a vulgar way” (156). The morning after one of Wart’s adventures Kay gets mad after realizing Wart had snuck out that night and threatened Wart.

In the story Beowulf, noble warriors and kings proved their worth by dying for those they love. Beowulf, king of the Geats, and Jesus, king of the Jews both understood the importance of sacrificing their lives for their people. Traits that define a good king include always keeping your people as your top priority by promising to do whatever it takes to protect them and demonstrating that you are mortal, by being willing to fight and die alongside your people. Beowulf was a very loyal and brave king who always looked out for the good of his people, just as Jesus did for the Jews. Beowulf can be portrayed as a good king because he always put his people first, and even though the results of some situations did not turn out in the favor of the people, he had good intentions.

Mr. P is thinking about eating him. At this instance Wart has enough time to turn around and swim away just in the nick-of-time to escape from Mr. P.

The trickster of a novel is a character whose actions, though seemingly malicious, are actually kind at heart, or support another character’s growth. In The Once and Future King, Kay is the best fit for this archetype, as a supporting character to Arthur. Kay’s archetype of trickster is supported by his selfish decisions, both as a teenager and as an adult, that make way for Arthur to grow as a character and ascend to kingly status, and supports the author’s purpose in illustrating the impact that small things can have on one’s destiny, by using his small decisions to mold Arthur into the grand character he has become. His way of being a trickster changes from childhood to adulthood, however; as a teen he is very self-confident, and as an adult

T.H. White’s novel, The Once and Future King, takes the reader on the journey of a growing boy named Wart, who later takes the throne as King Arthur.

By using many different techniques, White leaves prevalent hints for the reader to connect together as the tale continues.

When Wart and Merlyn meet Mr. P, the king of the moat, he lures Wart in by talking about power, then he tries to eat the Wart. This is expressed when White writes, “The Wart had found himself almost hypnotized by the big words, and hardly noticed that the tight mouth was coming closer and closer to him,” (52). This scene represents how people are so easily consumed by power. Wart was simply talking to the king of the moat, when suddenly he was almost eaten. During the days of totalitarian rulers, they would become so overcome with power that they would do anything to keep their power.

Cleopatra once said “all strange and terrible events are welcome, but comforts we despise” and that’s what happened to Cleopatra strange and terrible things. Cleopatra was known for her beauty and power. She used her beauty to get things she wants. The Roman empire started to trade with Egypt because Julius Caesar liked Cleopatra because of her beauty.

When people think of a successful king, they often associate them with the hero. However, many fail to notice that no one could own both the title king and the hero at the same time; they need to give up either one of the titles to become a truly successful hero or king. In the famous epic poem, Beowulf, despite Hrothgar rules Danes, another hero, Beowulf, shows up to solve Danes’ problem while the true Danes king sits on his throne and simply gives all honor and credit to Beowulf. To become a truly successful leader, one must know to put down his honor and fame for his people’s safety. Furthermore, a ruler who cares about his people in every aspect fits the title king, not a person who goes off on a quest to defeat the villain for his own

Lastly, the advantage of limiting car usage is the reduced amount of greenhouse gases. In source 1: “In german suburb, life goes on without cars” Elisabeth Rosenthal explains in paragraph 5 how “Passenger cars are responsible for 12% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe” “And that experts say is a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes”. President Obama’s goal was to lower the amount of greenhouse gas according to Source 4: “The end of the car culture” paragraph 1, Greenhouse gases defintely play a big part in air pollution because they mess up the ozone layer and it affects the earth, so if limting the car usage can reduce the amount of air pollution than we should try to take on the

Many readers of the poem Beowulf may find it difficult to distinguish the 'good' kings from the rest – indeed, almost every man who holds a throne in the epic is named at one point or another to be 'good'. By examining the ideals of the time period as identified by the 'heroic code', it becomes clearer that a truly 'good' king is one who generously distributes treasure and weaponry to deserving retainers to honour courage and strength displayed in battle and to encourage the defense of the kingdom (Intro). When Beowulf ascends the throne of the Geats, the heroic traits of courage and strength for which he was so highly praised as a warrior do not serve well in making him a good king. Indeed, by exhibiting the traits of a thane, that is, by

These classic tropes are inverted in King Lear, producing a situation in which those with healthy eyes are ignorant of what is going on around them, and those without vision appear to "see" the clearest. While Lear's "blindness" is one which is metaphorical, the blindness of Gloucester, who carries the parallel plot of the play, is literal. Nevertheless, both characters suffer from an inability to see the true nature of their children, an ability only gained once the two patriarchs have

In the play King Lear by William Shakespeare, the Fool is introduced as an lower-class character as he acts carefree and speaks in riddles. However, the Fool’s role in the play is not as plain and simple as it seems. Considering the Fool’s excellent relationship to Lear, he plays a significant role in supporting Lear’s sanity, thus he has the time to figure out the truths. The Fool takes on the important role of sustaining Lear’s sanity by staying loyal to Lear, providing comic relief to Lear, and teaching Lear of his faults.
