character sketch of arthur from the story "the sword in the stone"
Answers
Answer:
Wart
Wart is the young protagonist of the story and eventually comes to be known as King Arthur. He is thriving under the tutelage of the Wizard Merlin. He can be a little bit naive because his own strong belief in what is right blinds him to the fact that not everyone around him has such altruistic motives. He is slightly timid and would never assume the role of King without encouragement. He is also modest and teachable as a child and remains this way even as an adult monarch.
Wart has many adventures that usually stem from his becoming rather bored and is transformed into many other creatures to experience and learn lessons that Merlin needs to teach him. Although he is not the star of the show in battle - that kudos falls to his foster brother - he has a steady temperament that makes him a natural monarch and a leader his subjects will be able to respect without fearing him.
Merlin
Merlin is the Wizard charged with Wart's education. He has already lived in the future and so always knows what will happen. Merlin is extremely powerful but uses this power to do good. His influence on Wart is strong and firm yet kindly and benevolent. His guidance instilled in Wart a respect for others and a determination to bring more civility to the nation. Merlin's influence is visible in Wart as he assumes the role of King Arthur. Merlin knows what he wants Wart to learn and experience and for that reason will turn him into other creatures so that he is able to see things from alternate perspectives that he can then use in his own life.
Kay
Kay is Wart's foster brother and is not nearly as nice of a young man. He is peevish, spoilt and manipulative and attempts to take credit for pulling the sword out of the stone, but fortunately this pretense is discovered and the country is saved from a Kay-led monarchy. Although his heart is basically good his character is nasty and filled with jealousy. At first we quite like him because he is a good sport about sharing the glory on his adventure with Robin Hood. He is also skilled with a bow and arrow and saves the group from the fearsome Griffin with one shot. Gradually, though, he becomes insufferable and the petulant and temperamental side of his personality overshadows his better traits.
Uther Pendragon
Uther Pendragon is Wart's father and is the King of England as Wart grows up. Much of Arthurian legend occurs in Cornwall, at the south western tip of England, and the name "Pendragon" is an ancient Cornish one ("by Pol, Tre and Pen ye shall know the Cornish men" as the saying goes.) after his death there is no line of heredity or succession but the monarch role is won by trial which his son wins.
Sir Ector
Sir Ector is Wart's foster father and Kay's biological father. He is a rather jovial, caricature-like figure, filled with buffoonish laughter and pomposity, but this persona also tends to mask his abilities as a knight which are impressive and noted amongst his peers.
King Pellinore
King Pellimore's lifelong passion and reason for living is to hunt for the Questing Beast. He is the first knight whom Wart meets and he is accomplished. He is also kind and amiable. The first time Wart sees him joust is probably not a good example of jousting as an act of courage, as it is a rather flippant and silly name-calling exercise between Pellinore and Sir Grunmore Grummursum. Despite their clear dislike for each other, they become bewitched and wake up to find that they actually like each other.
Little John
Little John is a seven foot tall giant better known as one of Robin Hood's Merry Men. He calls Robin Hood "Robin Wood" and leads Wart to meet him. He is really the bridge in the story between the two legendary characters.
Robin Hood
Robin Hood resides in the forest and for the purposes of the book is actually geographically a long way from his home of legend in Nottinghamshire, hundreds of miles north of the lands of King Arthur. Robin is preoccupied with finding Friar Tuck who has been taken by Morgan Le Fay.
Morgan Le Fay
Morgan Le Fay is actually Wart's half-sister and is portrayed as a faerie queen who causes trouble and has a slight sense of evil around her. In this case she has taken Friar Tuck to her lair. She is malicious and talented at magic which she uses for evil rather than good and casts spells filled with malice.
