It is as if the sword chose King Arthur because he is the only one worthy enough, and in Harry Potter, if I remember correctly, the wand chooses its owner. https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=593915 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=593915 I think that if anyone else were able to pull the sword out something would have gone wrong because it wasn't meant for them. Wed, 12 Oct 2016 23:20:16 -0400 Is it possible that Shakespeare, or the writer of this story (whichever story came first), got the concept of two lovers doomed to die from each other? https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=593908 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=593908 I know this is more of a side story so is it possible that Shakespeare took this idea and grew on it with Romeo and Juliet, or the other way around (The writer of this story took it and narrowed it down)? Wed, 12 Oct 2016 23:14:22 -0400 I agree to an extent. Although it does seem very conceited of him, he may not have known the importance of that sword. Maybe he did and I never caught that part though? Either way, if he never had tried to pull it out he never would have become king. https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=593865 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=593865 Wed, 12 Oct 2016 22:52:54 -0400 I think King Arthur has a lot of arrogance, in a way. https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=593847 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=593847 The way I see it, Arthur considers himself very powerful after figuring out that he could pull the sword out of the stone. It reminds me a bit of Harry Potter because the wand chooses the person, and it's kind of like the sword chose him, so it seems magical, in a way. And because of this, he feels that he is strong enough to take on that many men. Wed, 12 Oct 2016 22:48:57 -0400 I think Merlin put the sword in the stone. https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=593824 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=593824 I am not completely sure, because I don't understand the sentence that well, but I believe Merlin put the sword in the stone and declared that the person who would be able to pull it out would be king. I could be wrong, but that is what I remember hearing in 7th grade when I did King Arthur. Wed, 12 Oct 2016 22:29:52 -0400 Is this simile trying to say that whenever he was facing an enemy his sword was so bright and shiny that he could see it in his enemies' eyes? https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=593761 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=593761 Wed, 12 Oct 2016 21:51:17 -0400 Is Sir Kay King Arthur's brother? I can't remember what their relation was. Didn't it say that Arthur was getting the sword his brother, Sir Kay, at the beginning of the story when he pulled out the sword? https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=593735 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=593735 Wed, 12 Oct 2016 21:21:42 -0400 I have no clue what this is saying. Is it trying to explain that no matter how many men pulled at the sword at once, only Arthur could do it; therefore, he is the king and anyone who is against it will be killed? https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=593733 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=593733 Wed, 12 Oct 2016 21:18:48 -0400 I think that they are trying to explain what time of year the story is taking place and I believe in the Victorian era that they were quite religious. I am not sure, this is just a guess. I don't really know myself. https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=591904 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=591904 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 15:03:33 -0400 Does this mean that Sir Arthur was trying to get a sword for Sir Kay? Did is not know that the sword was so important? https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=591625 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=591625 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 14:17:52 -0400
