Sir Lucan was a brave knight born of the race of Balyn. When Balyn struck the Dolorous Stroke Lucan was cursed to die a painful death. From the moment Lucan was born he was always an adventurous man. So, when Lucan saw a knight of Arthur’s Court, Lucan wanted to become a knight, and he went to Arthur’s Court. When Lucan arrived at Arthur’s Court, he asked to become a knight, and Arthur gave him a quest to go on. The quest was to find the lady that gave Balyn his sword and kill her. So, Lucan went on his way through the forest of Wirral and found the lady in a castle weeping bitterly, and just as Lucan was about to strike her head off, he paused remembering that he should not kill a damsel, so he brought her back to King Arthur and Arthur knighted him because, the quest was a trick to see if Lucan was a noble enough man to become a knight, and if Lucan …show more content…
So when the quest of the Holy Grail came around Lucan was excited because it was the biggest quest he had ever been on. On his journey he saved many a damsel and slayed many robbers, but when he came to the Waste Lands he was distraught at what he saw, and he couldn’t believe what his father had done, and upon seeing this he could not do the quest any longer and he returned to Arthur’s Castle. As the knights came trickling back into the court from the quest it seemed that Mordred was trying to create more trouble, and when Mordred heard about Launcelot and Guinevere he knew his time had come, and on the night of the secret meeting between Launcelot and Guinevere, Lucan decided to stay out of it because he feared he would get in trouble. After Mordred had stirred up trouble the great big war began and on the day Gawain died Lucan killed many a brave knight with such force that many of the knights died with one stroke of Lucan’s

    “A mistake is an event, the full benefit of which we have not come to realize.” (Unknown) Something that was not initially meant to happen can shape those involved for better or for worse in the future. In The Once and Future King, the slippery trail that leads to one of King Arthur (the protagonist’s) greatest mistakes starts with a fault in someone else entirely. While Arthur is planning a wedding, Merlyn, Arthur’s teacher, remembers what he has forgotten to tell Arthur earlier. Long story short, Merlyn forgot to tell him that Morgause is Arthur’s half-sister, and the characters Gawaine, Agravaine, Gaheris, and Gareth are his nephews.…

    The Great Awakening contributed to the separation of church and state by dividing the people when it came to religion. New ideas from Pietism, Presbyterianism, and Methodism redefined christianity and started a struggle between New and Old Lights. Furthermore, the country shared different variations of a religion, with different practices and rules. Although they were all still “Christians” the dissimilarity made it even more difficult for religion and state to be bound, for there would be conflict if the state made laws for one denomination and against another. In conclusion, the Great Awakening justified the separation of church and state and made the government start to develop indifferent perspectives.…

    Thomas Foster writes in his book, How to Read Literature like a Professor, that there are five elements to a quest: a quester, a place to go, a stated reason for the quest, challenges, and a real reason to go there, (Foster 3). Most novels don't feature a six-year old as the protagonist, and even rarer is that child saving the world. However, Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is no ordinary novel, and Ender Wiggin is no ordinary protagonist. His quest takes him on a journey to learn what truly lies beneath the facade of his world, and to learn more about himself along the way. Ender's quest is initially to Battle School, but his final goal is Command School, where he will learn to lead an army against a race of invading aliens called the buggers.…

    Arthur’s allusion represents the overall battle of good versus evil and the fight for equality. King Arthur and Arthur Jarvis were well liked, and respected by the people. Paton states “the church had been too small for all who wanted to come” (181), and this is the ultimate representation of the respect that Arthur receives. King Arthur had the Knights of the Round Table at which everyone at the table was seen as equal. Arthur Jarvis fights for the equality of both races and his death is seen as a major tragedy.…

    “A Knight’s Tale;” The Story of One And Everyman Many medieval stories were meant to be told to large audiences of common and noble folk alike and as such, these poems and songs had to be relatable enough that the listeners belonging to either social class could immerse themselves in the tale. The nobility often wanted to hear stories of brave knights on virtuous quests for honor and glory, in hopes that it would spur a similar adventure in their own lives. Conversely, the peasants and laborers of the time preferred to be entertained with humor and light-hearted characters, in part to distract themselves from their own taxing lives, and also because the adventures of knighthood were far from their reach. While the storyteller’s need to bridge…
