The Real King Arthur

In The Once and Future King, the portrayal of the Middle Ages is conceived as that ofmagnificent castles, beautiful clothing, great kings and queens- everything and everyoneperfect. No proof of the dirty, unjust, horrible circumstances that all people lived by-even the nobility- existed throughout the entire novel. The people and places in The Onceand Future King are so backward that the story could be described as a fairy tale. Camelot, for one, would not have been so gorgeously described, and looked uponas a majestic land. Towns back then were not pretty. Dirt thrived in cities; there werediseases and crud everywhere.

The Once and Future Kingcontained a magician, as wonderful as Merlyn is, and knowing that the story could nothave taken place without him-he could not have existed. But, unfortunately, reality justswipes him away. Guenevere was emotional, and had feelings, somethingmany queens did not tolerate. All blood and gore, nofancy romantic, picturesque life. Most knights were feared, notdesired. The knight was even portrayed in a dreamland way. Lancelot, such a great fighter,so brave, fair and content on doing the right thing; not many knights were like that. No king ever did so many things that theywould have stood out so much as Arthur would have. The elaboration brings out the untruth of it. He brings out a spark in legendsthough, something that adds on to the fairy tale part. She did not want to marry the king because she did notknow him. All in all The Once and Future King is basically fabricated out of nothing,although the authors did a very nice job of creating a fairy tale out of a horrendous time.
