Then she'd invented a clever game. She'd point out various guests, laughingly demanding that Lancelot tell her their names. If he

Arthurian legends show major theme changes as the times change. The legend of Lancelot was once a story of the greatest knight in the world, but it has now developed into a scandalous, adultery filled tale to show the great knight’s major character flaw. The major themes in Le Morte D’Arthur consist of Sir Lancelot’s being a noble knight with incredible sword play. This medieval text is one of the earliest to show who Lancelot really is. He is specifically portrayed as the greatest knight in the world

In The Ill-Made Knight, T.H. White reworks Lancelot, a major player in Arthurian legend. But he also reworks a central pillar of the myth: Christianity. Faith is treated in different ways in the book, but it is never a sure thing, never tangible. Whereas Malory, Chrétien de Troyes, and the Cistercian Quest all kept God firmly interwoven with the tale, White is unable to do so because of his anxieties.
