How Does Excalibur Abuse His Power

Decent Essays
Excalibur was a great movie to me it had a romantic,revenge,betrayal and power. Arthur would have never been anything if it wasn’t for him finding Excalibur sword i the rock in the middle of the forest he life probably never would have changed. As soon as he pulled Excalibur out of the rock He became king of England his life started to began to become better but most importantly he had power the kind of power that know other knight had. He was their leader but then again he was also the kind of king who abused his power whenever he would get angry he would use Excalibur in his rage which Excalibur power is only suppose to be used for good whenever he abused his power he will began to suffer and so will his people in the land began to be peasants

    Charles I’s abuse of power brought significant changes that impacted England because he dismissed the Parliament, created new religious laws that caused disputes and ignited the start of the English Civil War. Charles I often created new laws that were not passed through parliament and refused to take advice given by the members.

    This film is definitely an extremely amazing historical film. "Anne of the Thousand Days" showcases the lies of a "leggy girl" to the downfall of the lioness Anne Boleyn. Without Geneviève Bujold, this film would fail at showing the witty and intelligent queen at the time in her life that was the most scandalous; Bujold portrays Boleyn as a witty and provocative girl as well as showing her as a hurt and power-hungry woman who's swift actions are no match for the lies and rumors of the English court in the 16th century. Richard Burton's performance as Henry VIII is amazing as well and shows that the famous monarch was a misogynistic dolt who only thought of women as the producers of his future heir. While the film's historical accuracy is…

Is it the shining knights valiantly fighting evil doers, is it Merlin casting magic spells, or is it the tragic love story of Guinevere and Lancelot? Several people over the years have taken on the challenge of re-imagining the Arthurian legends, shaping them for their own purposes, adding new interpretations to the old stories. One such retelling of the legends is the novel The Once and Future King written by the author T. H. White, a problematic man living during one of the most tumultuous periods in the twentieth century, World War II.…

    Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible, is based on the 1692 Salem witch trials and explores the changing power relationships between the characters. To a certain extent, the play explores the idea of characters who were previously powerless, becoming empowered as a result of the trials, however, two more prevalent themes associated with this power related theme were characters losing and abusing power.
