The Tragedy Of Arthur The Great Gatsby By F. Scott Fitzgerald

We first see Merlin awaiting a scrawny, young fellow about twelve years old; Arthur. Being the clumsy little thing he apparently is, Arthur found himself being chased by an angry Kay who wanted his arrow when it flew into a dark forest by Arthur's fault. When Merlin is proving his magic abilities to Arthur, they transform into many types of animals where Arthur becomes worried and fragile. Through this, it is understood that Arthur is clumsy, scrawny, and rather weak. However, Geoffrey of Monmouth states that Arthur was fifteen years of age when found and he was of outstanding courage and generosity, and his inborn goodness gave him such grace that he was loved by almost all the people. Perhaps for a more understood plot, Arthur’s character did not match the more reliable account of Arthur's

Arthur is very ungrateful, and impossible to please. He thrives off of driving his daughter and son-in-law crazy, and it always seems to work. Arthur always has an ailment, and he believes the world revolves around him. Every once and a while Arthur gets what he deserves, and people unleash their wrath on him. Of course, Arthur acts as if he doesn't understand why people get so angry at

“Gather up everybody, and tell them to meet us at the base. I am going to go grab a quick cup of coffee. Do you want a glass?”

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is the compelling story of the lengths one man goes to in order to try and win back the love of his youth. In order to do so, the titular figure of the novel, Jay Gatsby, reinvents himself from the hardscrabble soldier of his younger years into an enigma of a millionaire; during his time living at West Egg, Gatsby is revered by all, but known by none. Despite the lavish lifestyle which has made him ever so well known, Gatsby is never able to win back Daisy, the girl who has for so long represented the culmination of all of his desires. To convey the complex themes of the novel, Fitzgerald makes use of the literary techniques discussed in How To Read Literature Like A Professor by Thomas C. Foster, especially in his portrayal of the geography of the Eggs and in Gatsby’s quest to win Daisy’s affection. In his novel The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald uses Gatsby’s desperate struggle to ingratiate himself into Daisy’s life to illustrate how one can never overcome the socio-economic barriers placed upon them at birth.

“A couple of weeks ago, Guinevere and I shared supper at her cottage. We drank far too much mead and ate too little food. Before I knew it, I had her backed up against the wall, kissing her, and I had her skirts bunched up around her waist. I reached between her legs and touched her. I just kept moving my fingers in little circles and she seemed to enjoy it. She was, ah, aroused. Wet, I mean. After a few minutes of that, I pulled down her top and kissed her breasts and neck while I kept moving my fingers between her legs. She rubbed up against me, then she shook and gasped, loud. I kissed her nipples and they were hard…” Arthur’s ended his story abruptly and stopped walking. “Please tell me that’s

Yes, that is easy to figure out, the author tells us, but it is how she does it that is remarkable. She changes the view of the story, by centering it on Merlin. The book doesn’t start with the birth of Arthur, no instead it starts with the birth of Merlin. We follow Merlin’s life, not Arthur’s. We watch as this boy becomes a man and build an emotional connection with him. Just as two friends become closer when they learn about the other’s past, so too do we become closer and closer to Merlin. Each turn of the page reveals a new segment of his life, deepening the bond more and more like a hammer swing against a

Even though Arthur is a shy man who has been shut inside his house for

The legend of King Arthur has inspired, and continues to inspire, many retellings of the well known stories and cast of characters. Ranging from film to literature to art, these retellings often include depictions of two key characters in the legend: King Arthur and and the wizard Merlin. Disney’s The Sword and the Stone (1963) and the British Broadcasting Corporation program Merlin (2008-2012) both showcase the relationship between Merlin and Arthur in the development of Arthur, but they differ in approach; in the animated version, Merlin assumes the role of a mentor while the television program depicts Merlin as a friend to Arthur.

Lionel held up his hand. “We’ve had enough, thank you. But if you’d be so kind, please pack that up and the extras. I’ll stop by the kitchens later to retrieve the leftovers. However, I will accept that pitcher of mead.”

Arthur was a respected yet secretive man. He committed a sin which brought pain and suffering to many others and himself. He was living in pain for several years. This lead to another medical problem, causing him to be accompanied by Dr. Roger Chillingworth. Roger worked in attempt to cure him, but failed to save him.

Merlin made a deal with the former ruler of Britain, Uther. The deal was that in exchange for Merlin's help Uther would give him his first born son, that son was Arthur. After he was born, instead of raising Arthur himself, Merlin secretly took him to the castle of Sir Ector to be raised

Our hero, Arthur, ends up coming across Merlin, who then teaches him through a bunch of different lessons. He changes Arthur into many different kinds of creatures, which he then lives by the way of the animals to teach him about how to properly think through and how to handle certain situations he comes across in life. For example, he is turned into a goose, where he meets Lyo-lyok. She teaches him that it is not necessary to kill people for no reason. Merlin guides him as well as protects him from any kind of danger he falls into, allowing him to experience things in a safe

    In all the long history of literature, some fictional characters have loomed above others, written about again and again by various authors of various eras. Arthurian literature is one area of fiction that has always been popular for writers to recreate in new versions, and one of the most intriguing characters of all Arthurian literature is Merlin, the magician/ prophet who aids Arthur early in his reign. As the Arthurian saga develops, so does Merlin, changing from an aloof, druidical character into a more human, magical being, though always retaining some traces of his Welsh origins.

Arthur stood by the window and gazed longingly out of it. He began daydreaming. He imagined what his knights were doing at that moment. Lancelot was probably helping some poor servant with their chores, Gwaine was probably (no, definitely) in the tavern, Elyan was probably helping a blacksmith run his forge, Leon was probably training or on duty (he always seems to be doing extra shifts), and Percival was probably lifting weights or reading. Arthur for the life of him couldn’t work out what that big guy would get up to in his spare time.

Percival tripped on the way to retrieve his drink, but stopped his fall by bracing his hands against the counter. “That’s mine. Thanks.”
