First off, I just want to say that if i had something as beautiful as Excalibur as it was described in the lines around 51 I wouldn't want to get rid of it either. throw in the fact that this swords is magical and involved in amazing fights and not just something that is pretty to look at, why would anyone want to just throw it away?! When i was reading this, first thing that popped into my head was that wonderful movie The Lord of the Rings:
Anyway, that's enough with that first encounter.
Encounter 2!
Again I find myself sympathizing with Sir Bedivere in his actions. Again with this beauty thing and all that jazz but then going on to it as a symbol. Of course he thinks it'd be great to have a symbol or token or whatever you want to call it for people to be able to look at and remember the legendary King Arthur! I know I personally find it easier to remember someone if there is that object of correlation, he's just looking out for the kingdom. Disobeying a sickly king who he thinks is more or less crazy at this point, who would argue with him?
Aren't knights supposed to do what they are told no matter what? Isn't this kind of going against the whole knightly code, disobeying the king? couldn't that get you killed?
Isn't death a great motivator?
Anyway, That's about all I have right now. Shiny things are fun, aren't they?
