MERLIN COMPARE AND CONTRAST By Zach Elliott The first two characters I chose to compare and contrast are Merlin and Arthur. They are alike in many ways and also different. They are both very brave. Merlin is very brave in the movie when he saves Nimue from the quick sand. He also saves her from the dragon. Arthur is brave because he accepts the challenge of being the King of England. Another occasion in which he displayed bravery is when he fights his son Mordred on the battlefield. Another way that Merlin the Wizard and King Arthur are similar is that they are both fighting against Queen Mab, a believer of the old pagan ways. Merlin has a duel with Mab at a castle. He also defies her when he stops his training as a boy. Arthur is against Mab because he doesn’t support the old Pagan ways. He is against were when he refuses to join forces with her. He also goes against her when he strikes down her creation Mordred in a duel. They are also different in a few ways. One way is that Merlin is half wizard, half human. But Arthur is a human. Also Arthur is a King of a whole country. But Merlin is only a land owner. The last two characters that I chose to compare and contrast are Mordred and Queen Mab. Mordred is the evil son of King Arthur who was created by Queen Mab. He is a believer of the Pagan ways. Queen Mab is the Antagonist of Merlin’s story. She is the evil queen of the old Pagan ways. They are alike because they both believe in the old Pagan ways. They are also alike because they want to get rid of King Arthur and Merlin. They are also different in a few ways. First, Mab is a female and Mordred is a male. Also Mab has powers, Mordred does not. Also Mab is a Queen and Mordred is a Prince.
