How Does Merlin Pull The Sword Out Of The Stone
If Merlin told the people that Arthur, was the rightful king everyone would be happy and excited. So Merlin was telling Arthur to believe in himself and pull the sword out of the stone.

    Bayeaux Tapestry Experience

    Thanks to the friendly winds which guided us across the channel, we arrive unopposed on English shores. Defenses are built and fortified as the men, motivated by my words feast on food and wine as we await the moment of truth. We have the advantage over the enemy, for the horses we ride provide us strength and quickness. We are truly blessed that the English have turned back Harald Hadrada and the Norwegians at Stamford Bridge. Now there is one less opponent to fight for my crown. Though battle tested and weary, Harold of Wessex will not easily relinquish what is rightfully mine. Remember, it is Harold who swore allegiance to me after I freed him from Count Guy of Ponthieu. I gave him arms and armor as he swore the sacred oath upon saintly relics. That oath, a pledge to support my claim to the English throne was broken (New World Encyclopedia, 2009).…

    The three major themes in the movie Excalibur are Magic,Power, and Fate

    In the movie, "Excalibur" a lot of magical incidents took place, mostly done by Merlin. If not for Merlin, Arthur wouldn't had ever been alive. Merlin is the one that conjoured up "the dragons breath" which allowed Uther to change his own identity in order to have sex with Tintagil's wife , and thus Arthur was born. Excalibur, Uther's sword, was created solely by some sort of magical forces. Merlin uses his magic through out the entire movie. Merlin would never use his magic against his own king, only for the purpose of helping him. Even when Merlin was tricked and then frozen, he was still able to use his magic to become a dream and help Arthur win his battle against Mordred. Just to prove Merlin's intelligence, he used his own mind to trick Morgana into using all of her magic and created the fog which later was used to defeat her own son.…
