Without the use of weapons in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, the novel

would be unrealistic and without a doubt would not have received the high approvals from readers.

Magicians as we know it do not exist, and including a "real" magician, the novels main character

Hank Morgan, in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court would turn the compelling novel into

a children's bedtime story. Twain kept this in mind, and created his "magician" not by magic, rather

Twain's implementation of getting Hank Morgan to use gunpowder to fool the 6th century

people was ingenious. Not only do they have no clue what gun powder is or does, they have no clue

that the explosion that fattened Merlin's tower had nothing to do with magic whatsoever. Essentially,

hunting and war, and that's exactly what happened; Hank made his weapons, and fought off

survive. Even the smallest of weapons, such as the bow and arrow, are an essential to Man's survival;

over the rest of the world will result in disaster. They will conquer the rest of the world, resulting

progress. Introducing modern weapons was the biggest mistake Hank could have made. After

different feel to the novel. It could have, and would have been just another novel on the shelves in
