Book II The Queen Of Air And Darkness
Psychological Criticism In the book The Queen of Air and Darkness, we are introduced to a castle in Orkney, a medieval kingdom in Ireland. There lived Queen Morgause with her four sons, Gawaine,
Gaheris, Gareth, and Agravaine. Morgause and her sons have an odd relationship with each other. Morgause is an evil witch and one of Arthur's halfsisters. The Orkney children’s destructive behavior increases throughout the book and this is mostly because of how
Morgause was raising them. During the time when T.H. White was writing this book, he was also going through problems and there were some personal emotions that drove the story and it was also reflected on the some of the characters. The relationship Morgause has with her sons shows that humanity can become twisted and sickminded because of the harm that is done not physically but emotionally and psychologically. Morgause gave birth to her sons and that is pretty much the only way she has a bit of right to the title of a mother, because in any other form she is definitely not a mother.
Morgause shows how to be a woman full of arrogance and she is very conceited. The way she treats her children is unmotherly and selfish, for example when she had not noticed that her childrens clothes were ruined and had not even scolded them about that. This was when her children were very excited to come home to their mother for they have hunted a unicorn.
That evening, after Morgause found out about the unicorn, she had them whipped for it. The behaviors of Morgause were just so absurd. It seems like she is doing those things because she was trying to be a good mother, but her actual reasons to punish her children were not because of their actions, but because of her own selfish reasons.
