How is Kay described in the once and future king?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the beginning , he's described in p. 40. "He was not at all an unpleasant person really, but clever, quick, proud, passionate and ambitious. He was one of those people who would be neither a follower nor a leader, but only an aspiring heart, impatient in the failing body which imprisoned him."

You can also see part of his personality when he says that it was he who took the sword out of the stone , but later quickly repents when his father asks him twice .

How was Lancelot different from Galahad his son?

Asked by RockandRollPirate

Lancelot and Galahad were much different. They were both amazing knights able to best most others at anything because of their skills in fighting. However, Galahad proved that he was the better knight by defeating Lancelot on the quest to find the Holy Grail. Galahad was more pious than Lancelot and it was his purity that allowed him to be the best. Lancelot had been considered the best knight but then, because of Lancelot's sinfulness Galahad was able to best him. Galahad also seemed like he was not human to many people because of his great holiness. Lancelot had made mistakes, but eventually had repented; Galahad didn't seem to make any mistakes and was able to reach the holy grail, while Lancelot was only to get a glimpse of it.
