Father: Arthur's Father affected him by keeping him in the house and making him anti-social. The legend was that he was cutting papers for his scrapbook and he stabbed his father in the leg and returned to cutting the paper like nothing happened. He was taken to a courthouse and was locked up for a month, then his father said he would take care of everything, and kept him inside of the house. Afterwards, he didn’t come out of the house during the day because his father kept him inside, and prevented him from communicating with people. Because he didn’t go out during the day and also didn’t talk to anyone, he became mysterious to everyone.
When he is about to become king, it says, “...they kneeled at once, both rich and poor, and cried Arthur mercy because they had delayed him so long, and Arthur forgave them...” (Malory, Book I, Chapter VII) They tried to delay him being made king because they did not believe that he was the rightful king. But he forgave them. He was also a great leader, and a great warrior, too.
In “The Once and Future King” Arthur’s innocence turns to his biggest downfall letting his enemy to take an advantage. In Book 2 “The Queen of Air and Darkness”, Chapter 14 quote “It is why Sir Thomas Malory called his very long book the Death of Arthur. . .. It is the tragedy … of sin coming home to roost. . ..
Arthur was molded by Merlyn’s philosophies because he experienced them all personally growing up, thus he tries his best to follow them. However, he sometimes fails to follow his own dogma; an example would be him knowing Lancelot and Guenever having an affair behind his back, but he tries to ignore it because of his excessive trust in his friends. Before Arthur’s battle with Mordred, he has already developed into complex figure; “Perhaps man was neither good nor bad, was only a machine in an insensate universe” page 630. During his contemplation, he had several epiphanies about human nature.
The idea of a farm boy becoming the true king was so repulsive to some nobles that they refused to acknowledge that Arthur was successful in pulling out a sword, forcing him remove the sword multiple times, until the common people demanded that Arthur has proven his worth and that he should be crowned king. Even after being crowned king, he was engaged in the Eleven Kings War, where eleven nobles claiming to be the true kings challenged Arthur to the throne. Arthur successfully, put down each rebellion and stood tall as the people’s new king (Source B3). Through time King Arthur became an astounding, relished leader with a true mind for the people. During his time as king, he inspired the idea of the Round Table, debatably King Arthur’s most
However, what seals Arthur’s motivation to embark on his journey is an encounter with a beast in the woods when trying and failing at chasing a Hart, a red male deer. Thesite is so marvelous to Arthur he decided to travel, train and find a new mentor to become king. In this moment, he realizes there is a lot the world can offer outside of what he knows.

The myth behind this sword is whoever succeeds in pulling it out is pure of heart and to be the next king of England.
King Arthur also shows power as he achieved something that most people perceived as godly or
The gist here is that Arthur can mess up a couple times but he is human and not perfect, and that as a king he knew that his choices not only affected him but his
King Arthur is one of the best kings that has ruled over Britain, throughout all of history. Arthur ruled with honor, loyalty, and chivalry, which made him a great king. Many lessons that he learned on his journeys helped him to become the person that he is. Arthur’s journey becoming king can be seen in the novel The Sword in the Stone by T.H. White, and is very similar to Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey.

Without knowing Arthur took out the magical sword that nobody could take out. That sword was named “Excalibur”, and he was named King Arthur right after he took it out of the stone(Goodrich). King Arthur’s story began with Uther Pendragon sneaking in to Igraine's bed and conceives Arthur. Merlin was a magician who counseled and took good care of King Arthur at a very young age. King Arthur had many brothers and sisters.
This heroic journey, probably lost in ages to pass; tells the true origin of King Arthur’s father, a story that is no doubt going to be subjected to the fabrication and the falsehoods by future writers desiring fame and historical significance. These are the real events leading to King Uther Pendragon’s birth, the father of King Arthur, predating all other future recollections, retold by me, Matt Tanzman, a noble and possibly one of the greatest historians and scholars ever in, or likely ever to be in King Arthur’s court. My writing regarding the father of King Arthur’s origin had been made in secret, written in the Latin language to assure secrecy, and hidden away until its’ future potential rediscovery. King Arthur didn’t want this information
The Arthurian Legend of Lancelot has changed throughout the ages. In the multiple accounts of Lancelot, his actions create unique, different situations, and he must live with his consequences. Lancelot has changed whether it focused on his heroism or another aspect of his character. The topic of love and chivalry is prevalent in all the accounts of Lancelot. Despite that the legend shifts its focus from Lancelot’s chivalrous behavior to sinful behavior, the fundamental theme that anyone would do anything for true love still stands in the Arthurian legend of Lancelot.
He succeeded and became the hero for Britain. This proved that Arthur was the true king for Britain. The story of the stone and the sword said that there was a sword in a stone that could only be pulled from the stone by the true king of Britain. Many attempted to take the sword, but all failed.
There was a king once who ruled his kingdom with a bronze hand and protected it with brave archers. They all lived in a tall rock structure up on a steep mountain top overlooking an emerald expanse; At times, it seemed as though it was floating in a sea of cotton with its stairs spiraling downward through the vapor. At the base were trees that stood like sentries so grand they must have been as old as time itself; A quite and calm place with no more than an occasional old wooden ship traversing its coastline entering and exiting the bay, until one day everything changed. The Queen was celebrating her new gift-a tortoise-she got from the King. The King and Queen were engaging in sweet talk while sipping red tea and nibbling on butterpie at
