King Arthur, also known as Arthur Pendragon, was brought to Sir Ector by Merlin when he was a little boy, and Sir Ector raised him. Then one day Sir Ector asked him to fetch a sword for him and Arthur pulled the sword out of the stone and when he brought the sword back Sir Ector didn’t believe him. So Sir Ector put the sword back in the stone, and Arthur pulled the sword out with ease: “Without stopping to read what was written on the sword Arthur pulled the sword out at touch”(Green, 7). Arthur was oblivious that the sword was special when he pulled it out, and that many knights had tried, but failed. Obviously he was meant by god to be the King of Britain, and he had something special about him. He did not know that Merlin had brought him to Sir Ector when he was a child.

    The parallels found between White’s fictional work and the governmental campaign speech by Beth Noveck show that Arthur was nearly successful in his plans but also displays the differences in what they did which determined who would achieve their goal while the other did not. The connections made between real world situations and Arthur’s life demonstrated clear conflicts arising, often impeding Arthur in his quest for success for the good of his kingdom. While our modern society is adversely different to the fictional setting of The Once and Future King, the goals for Arthur and Beth were easily comparable yet it was clear that the King had many flaws leading to his demise. Arthur constantly made sacrifices that hurt him personally for the good of kingdom as did Beth by challenging those above her.

Events influence writers to focus on contemporary issues, and writers use these controversial ideas within their texts in order to portray certain opinions and persuade the audience. As time passes, the story of Merlin shifts from a tragedy to a realistic portrayal of love within modern culture. Merlin, originally introduced in Le Morte D’Arthur as a protagonist wizard who finds deceit from love, develops as a character from the Middle Ages to the modernist time period in “To Nimue” as a man who chooses love over everything, regardless of Nimue’s inevitable betrayal.
