Table

looking for knights to serve at the round table of Camelot. Typically knights were known for their bravery, chivalry and heroism. The knights King Arthur appointed were rather the least likely knights. They failed at their battles and ran in fear from danger like cowards. They were not brave at all nor where they noble and strong. They also lacked respect and honor from the townspeople. Monty may be pointing out the fact that the Knights of the Round Table were not as brave and heroic as they…

Lancelot’s treason is not just a betrayal of King Arthur, but also a betrayal of Knight’s of the Round Table to whom he swore an oath. The Pentecostal Oath, sworn by each member of the Round Table, establishes the values of this Arthurian chivalric community.

Once Gawain returns to King Arthur’s court, though, the girdle is adopted as a symbol for the Knights of the Round Table, making it a public symbol of the knights’ code. Despite this public absolution of Gawain’s sin, the knight’s personal shame never self-absolved.…

The concept of loyalty is strongly related to the concept of knighthood. The image of the Knights of the Round Table can hardly be imagined without thinking of the loyalty amongst those knights. In “The Morte Darthur,” the loyalty that has been established between the Knights of the Round Table is shattered when loyalties are pledged to single knights instead of the whole group. Throughout “The Morte Darthur,” themes of loyalty are very apparent and can be seen in stark contrast to the themes…
