“‘Come life or death , I will do justice upon this man who has brought destruction upon the realm of Logres’” ( said by King Arthur p.320 ). In King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table by Roger Lancelyn Green, King Arthur is a strong leader because he is Loyal, Courageous and Humble. King Arthur's Loyalty is crucial for him to be a strong leader, as shown in this quote “then Arthur covered his face and wept”(p.308) “the queen must die according to the law, but if Lancelot comes

Greatest Scenes A Critical Analysis of Excalibur Excalibur is a very interesting story with many great scenes. In Excalibur, three of the best scenes are, when Arthur draws the sword from the rock, when the knights of the round table accuse the Queen of having an affair with Lancelot, and when Arthur fights his son, Mordred. The first scene that interested me is when Arthur draws the sword from the rock. This one was fascinating to me because many other of the strongest Knights tried and could

actions and characteristics, he displays throughout the poem. Although his character is a convincing villain, the real villain in this poem is Morgan le Fay. Morgan le Fay is not only King Arthur’s sister but also a powerful sorceress who seeks to destroy her brother. I will argue that in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight the antagonist/villain is Morgan le Fay and why the green knight is not. An antagonist is defined as “one that contends with or opposes another” (Webster Dictionary, 2014). In stories

Robert Lubar’s essay “Narrating the Nation: Picasso and the Myth of El Greco” discusses the aftermath of the bloody Spanish-American war resulting in “El Desastre del ’98” in Spain which rocked the national psyche into a period of cultural dissonance. Following the Disaster, the nation quickly found itself in an agitated period of conflicting ideas and divisive discourses, specifically between Madrid and Catalonia. Essentially, class divisions, regional differences, and this lack of national identity

When someone thinks of a medieval romance, that person will more than likely think of these common characteristics: knights, quests, a lady, magic, romance, Christianity, and of course King Arthur. There is actually much more to these stories than just “A knight goes on a quest. He meets a lady. And they all live happily ever after.” A reader needs to know what features to look out for in order to know for sure what kind of story he is reading.

A Knight’s Honor: “An Analysis of Chivalry” Throughout history, people of certain cultures base their lives off special rules, or codes. The Anglo-Saxons took examples from the epic hero of Beowulf. Knights during King Arthur’s rule lasted by the code of Chivalry. Lessons from this honorable code can be extracted from the text of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, as well as from Morte D’Arthur. Each of these memorable pieces of literature show examples of the code of chivalry. The three aspects

Brienne When the audience is first introduced to Brienne of Tarth she is fighting Loras Tyrell, she wins and is named the champion. She asks as the winner to be part of the Kings guard for King Renly. She is portrayed as an honourable knight. Her physical appearance is unlike other women in the show. The actress who portrays Brienne is at a height of 6’3” and is in a costume much like a knight. Gwendoline Christie who portrays Brienne has opened up about portraying this character about becoming

In contrast, the 14th century Arthurian romance, Sir Gawain glorifies and celebrates religious conventions. Gawains’ “eyes thither” upon the image of the Virgin Mary on his shield which assures “his courage never failed”. The religious emblem exemplifies the assistance of faith upon his journey. Many motifs and characters are preserved traits of genres such as Celtic myths and pagan cosmology. Throughout the Middle Ages, Christianity grew more dominant, and Arthurian material is particularly notable

One well - acclaimed and famed examples of Arthurian Romance in the Middle Ages is the tale, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The renowned tale tells the story about the journeys of knights, on a quest and heroes who exemplify chivalrous acts and demonstrate their courtly love. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is considered to be the finest example of Arthurian literature by many scholars, due to the rich imagination and skillful language, revolving around the central theme of chivalry.

At the start of the final book, the Narrator provides some information about Mordred and explains his hatred for Arthur. The narrator remembers Mordred saying “It may have happened long ago, but that doesn't alter the fact that Arthur is my father, and that he turned me adrift in a boat as a baby" (ch. 1, pg. 519). This highlights the complicated relationship between Mordred and Arthur. Arthur will certainly not be awarded any “father of the year” awards, but Mordred’s hatred of Arthur is still surprising
