How Did King Arthur Control His Temper

Improved Essays
I agree that Arthur would never let his temper get in the way on purpose because it is hard for a person to control his or her temper. Arthur sincerely wanted to protect his people which is why he always tried his best to control his temper. I do not believe that some of Arthur’s actions led to problems only because of the fact that he had the power to do anything. Due to the death of his father, Arthur became a king since a young age. For his age, Arthur was a good leader. However, he still had much to learn about how to run his kingdom and keep his people happy. Since Arthur’s only living relative is dead, he did not have anyone to teach him about how to run a kingdom. This makes me wonder how important an elder is in a person’s life. Is

    The last lesson he learned as a merlin was tough times do not last, tough people do. When he endures the initiation to become part of the regiment and he has to do something dangerous, “‘I will stand by the Colonel Madam’… The ordeal was over and the Wart might fly” (White 75-76).

This transformation was one of the hardest for Arthur and the next ones would not be as…

Throughout the world’s history, countless people get tempted by the cause of pride. Their judgments were clouded as a result of hubris.

    Flaws, of all shorts can help see the greatest people look weak and pathetic when noticed in the tale of Julius Caesar. Comparing mere mortals to one another is mankind's only way to show difference in one’s strength and artifice. The flaw of Cassius, Brutus, and the great Caesar seems to be hilarious in their common demise to blind themselves which may look depressing to others as if they were useless beings.

    King Arthur's Heroic Hero

    • 256 Words

    I think Arthur is heroic not only because he is brave and courageous but also because he strives to live up to the code of honor he sets for his knights. He really tries to follow his code even when it is not of benefit to him. For example, he give Mordred a place at court because his code of honor requires him to do so even when he know that Mordred is dangerous. He does not want to acknowledge Launcelot and Guenever because it would break the code by bringing a lady to dishonor and would not be in the best interest of the kingdom. Even after he is at war with Launcelot, he is willing to meet with him honorably.…

Aggression stems from the competitive nature of sports, again due to the “win at all costs” mentality that society places on athletics. Sports participation is intended to be a positive coping method for these individuals to release pent up aggression.…
