Lester never picks a definite side to stick with in his argument
being passive. This passive state of acceptance can be like poison for the mind of a young reader. The story that a young reader is left with is one that a woman's survival “Depends upon [her] acceptance of roles”(Gruss, 197).

In the story he says,“The victory is only a matter of quickness of eye and quickness of foot”(19) and it never said that he ever
Two romantic heroes, a pirate and a knight, compete to be the best. Westley (the man in black), the pirate, and Sir Gawain the knight.
