Arthurian Traditions (04/18)
"Good morning, class," Camulus grumbled. If one were looking closely at his kilt, one would notice that the hem looks decidedly ragged and chewed upon. This could be one of the reasons he's scowling. Then again, he's usually scowling.
"Uill, the last two classes were spent watching the film 'Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail'. And since you lot didn't have any thoughts about it, you're going to have to listen to me talk about it for a whole class."
Camulus went on to outline in depth how the structure of the movie mirrored the structure of the Mabinogian and other Arthurian tales with its random diversions and side stories. He talked about how the Knights Who Say Ni were similar to the numerous quests of Peredur and the eternal questing for the Holy Grail. The Black Knight and the Green Knight and the Beheading Game. Then how the endings were similar in that the stories didn't really end, just sort of . . . trailed off.
Yes, he spent the entire lesson talking very seriously about Monty Python.
[[Sorry for lack of class yesterday. It was my birthday and I had an exam and was busy busy.]]
