Lancelot is considered by everyone in Camelot to be the leader of the Round Table. To back up the claims that Malory makes about Lancelot he gives many examples of his heroic acts and achievements. For example Malory describes tournaments that would be held where knights would battle to the death. Describing Lancelot in theses events Malory says “... Sir Launcelot du Lake, for in all tournaments and jousts and deeds of arms, both for life and death, he passed all other knights” ( Malory 175).

Because John cannot seem to remember his ten commandments while Hale is questioning him, “he is stuck. He counts back on his fingers, knowing one is missing” (67).

. . for brave vows [Arthur] yearned to hear made,” but Gawain, whether out of humility or fear, maintains his knightly status and makes no formal boasts. The reason for his silence is probably because he knows that he cannot back them up. Finally, a year has passed and he must leave to find the Green Chapel, so he armors up to leave on his journey. One of his admirers says to another, “Before God, ‘tis a shame that thou, lord, must be lost, who art in life

But cruelty should never be the answer. A character who I believe shouldn’t use cruelty is George whenever he talks to Lennie. But I understand that George is just trying to help Lennie understand because of how slow Lennie is and how he doesn’t have a mindset of an adult. Like when George calls him a crazy bastard because Lennie is always forgetting things (pg.4). Another charact er who I believe that shouldn’t use cruelty against others is Curley.

This suggests that Claudius is not genuinely praying to have his sins forgiven. He is praying thoughtlessly, therefore his prayers would not be heard or forgiven. This scene shows how indecisive and wavered Hamlet is because he is not driven enough to kill Claudius. He still

Also being the elder of the island could mean that he made up all of the customs of the island himself. Most of the customs on the island the Baudelaires found very weird. The Baudelaires were also very suspicious about Ishmael. When Ishmael told them to send off all of their possessions to the arboretum, the Baudelaires decided to keep one item each. We can infer from this that he does not want any foreign items being brought in because they could make the islanders realize that their lives are different from most.

At the point of his downfall is when he most forcefully attempts to persuade Dorian to do something that can only be done through one’s own volition.

Some knights learned finer skills, it just depended on where one was sent to learn how to be a knight. After an entire childhood dedicated to gaining the skills of knighthood, a squire, a young knight in training, was finally knighted when he reached his late teens or early twenties,but only if he could afford it. Those who were not able to afford the weapons, armor, and other necessities of a medieval knight either became bachelor 's until they could afford to maintain their status as a knight or found jobs in the courts and entourages of other knights and lords. Luckily for those who could not afford it there were plenty of jobs available for trained squires and men of court. All that training did always pay off whether you were on the

Medieval Europe had a code for love know as, The Rules of Courtly Love. These rules were exemplified in characters seen in a book written about that era, The Once and Future King. One of the main characters, Lancelot, follows these rules. Lancelot follows the Rules of Courtly Love because he follows the rules that, the easy attainment of love makes it of little value: the difficulty of attainment makes it prized, he whom the thought of love vexes eats and sleeps very little, a slight presumption causes a lover to suspect his beloved, and that a true lover does not desire to embrace in love anyone except his beloved. Lancelot follows the Rules of Courtly Love because he follows the rule that, the easy attainment of love makes it of little value:

The main theme in this Arthurian Legend is Loyalty and Betrayal. In King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table by Roger Lancelyn Green King people betray each other and are loyal to each other by lying to each other, helping each other when they are in need, and by standing by each others side in battle. Launcelot, King Arthur's best friend and knight, and Guinevere, King Arthur's wife, had lied about having an affair behind King Arthur’s back. Then Launcelot took his sword under his arm, wrapped his long furred gown about him, and went through the dark castle to Queen Guinevere’s room.

In medieval times, chivalry was something that many men lived up to. If a man lived up to the expectations of chivalry he was said to be loyal, brave and courageous. For some it was difficult to follow certain codes especially when it came to romance, an example: Sir Lancelot in the movie “First Knight.” Medieval romance was taken seriously during its time. Not only did men/knights have to follow rules and codes about war, but also about romance.
