what is the moral of the story king Arthur? (when he became king because he took the sword out of the stone)?

I don't know that there is a moral per se.. I suppose one could say that all people have a destiny to fulfill, and that we should sieze opportunities when they present themselves.

Hi Helen. \n"The Once and Future King" by TH White is probably the best version of the King Arthur legend in plain English. Arthur was King and will come back to be King again, is the legend.\nIn this case I believe that Magneto is seeing himself more as a Merlin figure, creating the conditions for a new world order to arise in which he himself will not be King. As part of this Merlin was entombed alive by the nymph Nimue - Magneto by Prof. Xavier. In the book we know by the end that Merlin is not defeated forever and that the new world will not end with Arthurs death, but that both will indeed return and the new world is merely delayed, rather than prevented. \nSo does Magneto see himself as the magician, pulling the strings to put an end to an age of darkness, ignorance and barbarism? Yes!\nDoes he believe he will escape and start again? Yes again!\nFinal irony? Magnetos escape from his prison is set in train by a "nymph", if you can count her as such!\nRegards, Steve.

He didn't.\n\nIt is a cute story for children.\n\nNot an accurate historical account of anything.\n\nAnd not even original.\n\nThe story was taken from Gilgamesh, an old Sumerian folk tale that is much older than the Bible.

They had destroyed their relation with god, and they were sinners. They proved unworthy of the garden and eternal life. \n\nThey could have gotten back into the garden without the sword, and they could have eaten from the tree of life, giving them eternal life.\n\nThey didn't deserve the garden and eternal life because they sinned and forfeited a perfect relation with God. That's why.

Try "The Once and Future King" by T.H. White. Dynamite book. It's a fictional account, but it's an excellent read. For non-fiction, try "Pendragon: The Definitive Account of the Origins of Arthur" by Blake and Lloyd. It's got a ton of Arthurian info.

It's the lord of the flies. which symbolizes the evil in all humans. it is the pig that (someone-i dont remember who) symbolically rapes the pig saying "'right up her @$$'".\n\nthis part of the book that i am talking about..the symbolic rape is in the middle of chapter 8. and then if you turn the page (or maybe 2-depends on your version) it says "'This head is for the beast. It's a gift.'" Chapter 8, pg. 124 (on this quote site its on page 124 but in my book its on page 137).

well, i dont knwo any good sites, but since we're learning about this here goes:  Arthur's dad was the king and he liked this dudes wife.  he got merlin to change him into her husband and he went to the guy's palace and they created a baby. but before all this happened, merlin agreed to help arthur's dad (can't remember name) if merlin got to keep the baby.  so merlin took the baby afterwards and asked a dude to raise him.  (can't remember his name either 8/) so then, one day, when arthur's dad died, (he didn't knwo about his true parentage), merlin made a competition to see who would become the next king.  (he knew arthur would be able to pass).  he said that everyone should try to pull this sword out of this rock, if he could, he's king!  then a whole thing happens where arthur pulls the sword out and he becomes the king, and is told about his parentage.  if you need more, email me and i'll try to find a good site.

To not let hate guide you. It is because after Guinevere cheated on King Arthur with Sir Lancelot, Arthur was going to have Guinevere burned at the stake (only to forgive her later on), but before in the process of saving Guinevere Lancelot killed two knights, which were brothers of Sir Gawain, leading to Sir Gawain havin Arthur start a war against Lancelot (only to both later regret having the war). At the end Arthur dies because he wasn't able to get help from Lancelot.

Try these websites for more info:\nhttp://www.britannia.com/history/h12.html\nhttp://www.legends.dm.net/kingarthur/\nYes I read "The once and Future King" by T.H. White, many years ago and loved it.  Loosely based on an idea from Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur (as many other subsequent books were).\n\nthere is a beautiful painting by Edward Burne-Jones called "The Last sleep of Arthur" - see website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:The_last_sleep_of_Arthur.jpg

Here are the moral lessons that I got out of the movie.  The moral lesson of the main character in the movie, to me, was that love conquers all.  He would go to the ends of the earth to save his wife and to find his kids.  The moral lesson of the wife was to not commit suicide.
