A Kingdom Built on Beleifs ( The Once And Future King)

A detailed Summary of A Kingdom Built on Beleifs ( The Once And Future King)

The kingdom of Camelot was a realm that was held together by the beliefs of its

sovereign and subjects. The monarch of Camelot, Arthur, instilled these values on his

subjects. From the time he was a child Arthur was able to view the world differently than

anyone else because of his relationship with Merlyn. With Merlyn's help Arthur was

capable of changing into animals we could only dream of becoming. With each animal he

turned into he was able to gain a better understanding of humanity, valor, and eminence.

The ideas that Arthur conveys most throughout "The Once And Future King" by T.H.

White, are the great chain of being, chivalry and courtly love.

The great chain of being was an idea during the middle ages that listed a hierarchy

of living and non living things. Aristotle established this ranking which includes, God,

angels, king, church, lower nobles, merchants, yeomen, soldiers, servants, beggars,

actors, thieves, animals, and inanimate objects. Wart becomes aware of this idea when

with the idea of the great chain of being when Wart unexpectedly becomes king. At the

Camelot on are great chain of being, chivalry, and courtly love.
