Zachary Sigafoes 11/12/09 Merlin COMPARE & CONTRAST

In medieval time there was a great tale that was told. It was the story of Merlin. Merlin was born from a poor woman but had been magically born from the evil Queen Mab. Merlin was raised by the warm care of his foster mother in whom he called Auntie Ambrosia. Later in life Merlin had adopted the son of the old king. His name was Arthur.

Merlin had been a caring man, and he had been this way for most of his whole life. Although he had hated Queen Mab, he had wanted her dead for what she had done. Merlin had almost learned how to become a wizard, but he chose not to be as he did not enjoy what he was doing. Merlin had become a great man of knowledge and honest in his days. Arthur was an honest an who was true to his word. Under the supervision of Merlin himself he had been good enough of a man to pull Excalibur out of the stone of eternal earth. He had been the son of Uther, the old king. So this meant that Arthur was next in line for the throne. Arthur had been taught all the proper makings and necessities to become king. He had been a honorably courageous king who was true to his every word.

Queen Mab was an evil devious wizard who had an unquenchable thirst for power and control. She was born Merlin of a virgin women by her use of magic. Although Merlin was half born from her he did not love her. Mab had killed Merlin's foster mother and she had kill his mother of whom he was born. Merlin had hated this evil wizard.

Mordrid was born as the son of Arthur and Morgan la'fea. He had also been magically born by the evil Queen Mab. Although he had been born from the Queen, Mordrid had been much more powerful than ever imagined. He had planned to overthrow his father for the roll as king. Him and his father had went to battle against one another. They had both died in battle.

All four of these characters had been similar and different in some ways. Queen Mab was a wizard, Merlin was somewhat of one as well. Arthur was very intelligent, so was Merlin. Mordrid had been just as evil as Queen Mab. Merlin was Arthur's teacher, just as Queen Mab was Mordrid's. Merlin and Arthur had been Smart and brave in there lives, Unlike Queen Mab and Mordrid had been evil and corrupt.

In this mythical tale there had been a matter of good versus evil, right versus wrong. The characters involved had influenced this effect, and innocent people had become bystanders of an act of war. Although not magical, Merlin had prevailed victorious. And as for Arthur, Mordrid, and Queen Mab. They had died an honorable death. Throughout the story all characters had one thing in common, courage.
