Merlin Entertainments, for example, regularly employ intellectual property for the main purpose of marketing an attraction, as opposed to using a franchise to open new doors in terms of creativity in a built environment. Originally penned as ‘Project Dylan’, Thorpe Park’s ‘SAW- The Ride’ opened in the spring of 2009, with the horror-themed property only being licensed near the end of the design phase. ‘Project Dylan’ was designed to resemble a run-down saw mill, with a facade of rusted, corrugated

The Introduction: According to A Handbook to Literature, folk tales are short narratives passed down through oral tradition, with various tellers and groups modifying them, that they become stories of cumulative authorship (Holman 207), which means that no one person decided how the tales should be. A folk tale that I am familiar with is the story of King Arthur. King Arthur is represented as being a great man, leader and king and is an icon of good morality and the values of England, which is why
In Malory’s “Le Morte Darthur,” there are two different swords, the sword in the stone and Excalibur. These two swords can represent many different things, including the sword in the stone representing Christianity and Excalibur representing Paganism. Malory accentuates the differences between the sword in the stone and Excalibur to portray the power struggle between Christianity and Paganism to reflect on the real life power struggles between the two viewpoints. First, the Sword in the Stone and
In the Fifth century all the scholars agreed that there was a man called Arthur. A man named Sir Ector, who had real a son named Kay, adopted him.

Morgan le Fay was an enchantress from the Arthurian legend, who possessed many good and evil powers(Malaguarhera 612). There are many who think that she may have originated from Pagan myths, and writings. It is very possible that this is the case as she has been associated with the Celtic goddesses Modron and Morrigan or even with the sisterhood of the nine that resides within the mystical Isle of Avalon . It is therefore very likely that there is a connection between Morgan le Fay and Celtic literature
affected the history of the Arthurian legend. One of the items that makes the wearer invulnerable in some way in Arthurian legend is Excalibur, the sword that King Arthur receives from the Lady of the Lake. Since Arthur’s first sword was broken, Merlin

“In a land of myth, and a time of magic, the destiny of the kingdom rest on the shoulders of a young boy. His name…. Merlin. Merlin is a British fantasy-adventure drama television program created by Julian Jones, Jake Michie, Julian Murphy, and Johnny Capps, starring Colin Morgan in the title role. In this twist on the Arthurian legend Merlin (Colin Morgan) is a young and powerful warlock who arrives in the kingdom of Camelot after his mother arranges for him to stay with the court physician, Gaius
Gaius paused at the bottom of the grand stairs that spilled out into the courtyard. While he was certain of his diagnosis, it was nearly impossible to estimate how far the disease had spread within Rodor's body. It could be weeks or it could be months. Due to the king's tenacity, he might very well outlive Gaius himself. "I really can't say. Did you tell him about the things we spoke of last night?" "No. I'd come in there this morning intent on telling him that I now know why Travis seems to hate
The Influence of British/Celtic Myths and Figures in Haydn Middleton's Lie of the Land The following is a list of explications pointing towards British and Celtic myths and figures. While pursuing the Celtic influences of Middleton's novel, I found myself searching for the meaning of other present mysteries. This author's twist of two cultures creates a spectrum for possible explication. It seems that the Celtic material melds into British society throughout this novel. In search of specific
MERLIN There is bitter controversy among scholars and theologians alike as to whether of not Merlin was a real historical figure or a product of literary imagination. Much of the earlier poetry attributed to him in Welsh manuscripts, it seems, comes from authentic prophetic verse that Merlin himself spoke. Merlin was first seen in Geoffrey of Monmouthís History of the Kings of Britain written c. 1136. Many people do not accept Geoffreyís words as truth. Many say that Geoffrey wrote Merlinís legendary
Crowning of Arthur, by Sir Thomas Malory, utilizes the protagonist’s bravery to show the theme, and King Uther shows bravery in this example. In the story, while King Uther becomes sick, enemies overrun the kingdom, causing many losses as they progress. Merlin predicts that the soldiers can be inspired by the existence of King Uther himself on the battlefield, and he can be carried on a stretcher. The army met with the opponent at proceed to the battlefield. King Uther properly showed up on a stretcher
stature, his personal mistakes and poor decisions could affect many lives other than his own. Adding an element of contrast to Arthur’s life is Arthur’s friend and mentor, Merlin. As a seer of the future and a man of great intelligence and wisdom, Merlin is everything Arthur is no. Arthur looks to Merlin for guidance. Through Merlin, the king’s many great possessions are put into perspective.
Women have been viewed as the weaker vessel compared to their stronger male counterparts since the beginning of time. From ancient mythology to popular modern media, women are easily portrayed as the damsel in distress, unable to take care of herself and constantly in the desperate need of being rescued. Women who stand up against this belief and make effort to support themselves were usually deemed fools, prostitutes, or worse, witches. While there have been mentions of strong-bred women in history
The grandfather clock began to toll the hour, its chimes reverberating deep into Arthur's bones. Was it his imagination, or was the Christmas tree growing taller with each stroke of the clock? At the twelfth chime, there was a great flash of light from the top of the clock, and smoke rolled through the room. Arthur thought he saw his godfather perched on top of the clock, cloak billowing out behind him like wings. Arthur had the impression of fire spitting from his mouth, but then Kilgharrah’s trunk
child. The truth is that Uther Pendragon is painted with an unforgiving brush as a king ruled by his passions and his bloodlust whose only contribution to Britain was conceiving Arthur, an act tainted by deception and Myrddin’s manipulations. In Merlin, Stephen Lawhead portrays Uther in a more forgiving light through his relationship with Aurelius – whom Gildas and Bede both present as an Arthur-like figure himself. Lawhead takes great liberties in fictionalizing Aurelius, most notably making him
a very mysterious birth and does not know who his real parents are. Eventually they will triumph and overcome the challenge of their mystical childhood. This is seen through the character of King Arthur. When Arthur was born, he was “delivered to Merlin, who carried it to Sir Ector, and his wife nursed the baby at her own breast” (140). Right after Arthur is born, he is removed from the hands of his parents and throughout his childhood he does not know the truth of his birth. Arthur finally meets
King Arthur Character Analysis Although King Arthur is one of the most well-known figures in the world, his true identity remains a mystery. Attempts to identify the historical Arthur have been unsuccessful, since he is largely a product of fiction. Most historians, though, agree that the real Arthur was probably a battle leader of the Britons against the Anglo-Saxons in the sixthth century. In literature, King Arthur's character is unique and ever changing, taking on a different face in every
