//** __Merlin compare and contrast__ **// //**__ By ryan caplen __**// The characters for my compare and contrast paper are merlin, queen mab, Arthur, modrid, Lancelot, and Galahad. The reason I have chosen these characters is because I thought they were key characters in the story with very good and memorable characteristics. To start I am going to compare queen mab the evil queen of the old ways who created Merlin. Merlin was a magical wizard created for evil but never stopped doing good deeds. The characteristics I thought they had the same were magical because Merlin was half human half magic from the beginning and to the end mab showed he immense magical powers by creating Merlin changing people from ugly to beautiful and practicing many different mystical spells and beasts such as the dragon. Merlin is not as powerful as mab but he has many other talents such as talking to animals hand magic and by the end of the story advances his powers to changing the looks of him and Nemoy.Another thing they had in common was the way they both had their own way that they wanted to rule. one thin that they had that was different was mab was selfish wanted Merlin for rong reasons so she could rule in old ways. The next two characters I am going to compare are Arthur and Mordrid the reason I chose these two characters is because of their similarities as father and son. Arthur was a noble king who wanted peace and harmony in Camelot the city he had created but Mordrid was brought up in the old ways and wanted nothing but to control and rule with mab. One of the things they had in common was their abilities in battle Arthur was skilled in battle and wielded the sword Excalibur. In the scean when Mordrid fought Arthur they both showed their similar weaknesses and full blooded mortals they both had no real advantages other than Arthur and Excalibur and Mordrid and his slight magical skills.

the last two carachters i am going to compare breifly is galahad and lancealot the reason i added these two carachters is because they were referd to as the person needed to watch arthurs kingdom while he was gone but galahad was ment to be the one chosen but instead lancealto was chosen to watch.when lancealtot was watching arthus kingdon he cheated with arthurs wife creating an uproar in camealot and so ruined arthurs kingdom and desroyed his followers respect for him ending with a battle between arthur and his loyal followers and Mordrid and arthurs old followers who had lost respect for him.
