How Does Merlin Pull The Sword Out Of The Stone
If Merlin told the people that Arthur, was the rightful king everyone would be happy and excited. So Merlin was telling Arthur to believe in himself and pull the sword out of the stone. None of the noblemen can pull the sword from the stone, but when Arthur tries, the author reveals, "Do you expect us to believe this scrawny boy succeeded where we all failed? With trembling hands, Arthur reaches for the sword. He easily pulls it from the stone. Arthur is the rightful king of this land, the one and only son of king Uther!"

    Merlin's Maturity In The Crystal Cave

    As a young boy, Merlin lived with his mother in his grandfather's palace in Maridunum. Merlin's life in his grandfather's palace was harsh in such a way that he was not like the other young boys surrounding him.

    How Is Merlin Alive In T. H. White's The History Of Merlin

    Throughout the books The History of The Kings of Britain by Geoffrey of Monmouth and The Book of Merlin by T.H White, the authors attempt to bring the legend of Merlin alive. The History of The Kings of Britain was written in 1136, while The Book of Merlin was created in 1977. There is a clear connection between Geoffrey of Monmouth’s ideas of women and religion related to his writing as well as T.H White’s anti-communist beliefs with Merlin's attributes.…

    The Sword In Beowulf

    The sword Beowulf used to kill Grendel’s mother had to have such a powerful background story because an ordinary sword would not have gotten the job done. This became evident when the sword Beowulf borrowed from Ecgtheow did not even penetrate the monster. Despite the irony of the sword magically being within Beowulf’s grasp in his time of need, it is by certain the force used to kill off Grendel’s mother.…

    Thanks to the friendly winds which guided us across the channel, we arrive unopposed on English shores. Defenses are built and fortified as the men, motivated by my words feast on food and wine as we await the moment of truth. We have the advantage over the enemy, for the horses we ride provide us strength and quickness. We are truly blessed that the English have turned back Harald Hadrada and the Norwegians at Stamford Bridge. Now there is one less opponent to fight for my crown. Though battle tested and weary, Harold of Wessex will not easily relinquish what is rightfully mine. Remember, it is Harold who swore allegiance to me after I freed him from Count Guy of Ponthieu. I gave him arms and armor as he swore the sacred oath upon saintly relics. That oath, a pledge to support my claim to the English throne was broken (New World Encyclopedia, 2009).…

    The three major themes in the movie Excalibur are Magic,Power, and Fate

    In the movie, "Excalibur" a lot of magical incidents took place, mostly done by Merlin. If not for Merlin, Arthur wouldn't had ever been alive. Merlin is the one that conjoured up "the dragons breath" which allowed Uther to change his own identity in order to have sex with Tintagil's wife , and thus Arthur was born. Excalibur, Uther's sword, was created solely by some sort of magical forces. Merlin uses his magic through out the entire movie. Merlin would never use his magic against his own king, only for the purpose of helping him. Even when Merlin was tricked and then frozen, he was still able to use his magic to become a dream and help Arthur win his battle against Mordred. Just to prove Merlin's intelligence, he used his own mind to trick Morgana into using all of her magic and created the fog which later was used to defeat her own son.…
