I would think he would be intimidated and have no motivation to fight the other kings. https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=592159 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=592159 Wed, 12 Oct 2016 22:48:57 -0400 Merlin seems to think highly of Arthur and in some ways he is protective of him. Why/how do they have such a relationship? https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=592155 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=592155 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 20:20:34 -0400 I can't decide if the Kings of the different lands are jealous of King Author's inheritance by removing the sword or if they are actually irritated because Arthur isn't like one of them (of high-blood) https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=592152 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=592152 Wed, 12 Oct 2016 22:08:44 -0400 I wonder why that table held such importance in the story? why does it represent so much? https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=592149 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=592149 Wed, 12 Oct 2016 10:53:49 -0400 this displays the unawareness of Arthur. He was confused as to why he was being bowed to, but he should know why if he had heard any talk around town about the sword https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=592145 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=592145 Wed, 12 Oct 2016 10:46:37 -0400 this could be an example of situational irony because unlike all of the large, strong soldiers that struggled and could not get the sword out, Arthur pulled it out lightly https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=592142 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=592142 Wed, 12 Oct 2016 11:06:28 -0400 This is an example of an Epic hero's characteristic because God chose Arthur to be the king, it is an example of the hero recieving supernatural help https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=592141 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=592141 Wed, 12 Oct 2016 11:03:59 -0400 You're correct because it starts in chapter 5 instead of at the beginning of the story https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=591601 https://nowcomment.com/documents/62488?scroll_to=591601 Tue, 11 Oct 2016 11:09:36 -0400
