In Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur, the Round Table brought together the knights of the realm and was a symbol of knightly brotherhood, unity, chivalry, and honor. The Table was created by Merlin, who designed it in the shape of a circle to reflect the world.

Even though Kay was handed the right to rule, very similarly to how God handed the embryo the right to rule every other species, Kay is not a worthy ruler. At the tournament, Kay forgets his sword at the inn,…

But why not finish off this tankard before leaving? He emptied the contents into his mouth, some of the wine landing on his tongue and the rest dribbling down the front of this cloak. At this point, who cared if he smelled like a winery? He fumbled around for his money pouch, and after a good long while of searching, he realized he didn’t have it on him.
