10 Heroic Archetypes

-Heroic Archetypes are people who go out of their way to help others. Usually it is someone rescuing a damsel in distress, or anything else that involves saving.

1) King Arthur- Britain was chaos before King Arthur stepped into power. But when King Arthur defeated the Saxons and ruled as a king, he restored Britain to a peaceful land.

2) Lancelot-Lancelot was in love with Queen Guinevere, King Arthur's wife. King Arthur found out about this and prepared to kill Queen Guinevere at the stake. But as King Arthur was to do so, Lancelot came and rescued her before they could execute her.

3) Merlin- Merlin preformed guidance when Arthur was just a baby.
Merlin took Arthur away from King Uther (his biological father) and gave Arthur to a foster family. When Arthur was around 16, Merlin had the sword in the stone, knowing that Arthur would become king. So, the largest reason Arthur became King was because of Merlin's doings.

4) Bors- One day, Bors saw his brother Lionel, being led away by two captors. Apparently, he had been abused and badly whipped by his enemies.
Before he could rescue his brother. A maiden called out for his help. A man abducted her, and was set to rape her.Bors suffered from agonizing indecision. He must either help his brother from being killed or to rescue the maiden from being raped. Bors decided that his knightly honor demanded that he should rescue the maiden. Bors easily defeated the cruel man, and escorted the girl to her family who was searching for her.

5) Galahad- He was the son of Lancelot and Elaine. Galahad was one of the few who laid eyes on the Holy Grail. Galahad for the most part travels alone, killing his enemies, rescuing Sir Percival, and saving maidens in distress, until he is finally reunited with Sir Bors and Sir Perceval. The knights get on a ship and achieve the quest of the Holy Grail, but along the way, Sir Bors has to bring Percival's

    "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" is a satiric comedy about the quest of King Arthur. The movie starts out with Arthur, King of the Britons, looking for knights to sit with him at Camelot. He finds many knights including Sir Galahad the pure, Sir Lancelot the brave, the quiet Sir Bedevere, and Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir Lancelot. Through satire and parody of certain events in history (witch trials, the black plague) they find Camelot, but after literally a quick song and dance they decide that they do not want to go there. While walking away, God (who seems to be grumpy) come to them from a cloud and tells them to find the Holy Grail. They agree and begin their search. While they search for the Grail, scenes of the knight's tales appear and the reasons behind their names. Throughout their search, they meet interesting people and knights along the way. Most of the characters die; some through a killer rabbit (which they defeat with the holy hand grenade), others from not answering a question right from the bridge of Death, or die some other ridiculous way. In the end, King Arthur and Sir Bedevere are left and find the Castle Arrrghhh where the Holy Grail is. They are met by some French soldiers who taunted them earlier in the film and were not able to get into the castle. The movie ends with both King Arthur and Sir Bedevere being arrested for killing a real-life man who was a historian.…

    Returning home to visit his mother he comes across the Fisher King, who invites him to stay at his castle. While there he witnesses a strange procession in which young men and women carry magnificent objects from one chamber to another. First comes a young man carrying a bleeding lance, then two boys carrying candelabra. Finally, a beautiful young girl emerges bearing an elaborately decorated graal, or "grail", passing before him at each course of the meal. Perceval, who had been warned against talking too much, remains silent through all of this and wakes up the next morning alone. He finds his mother is dead, then Arthur asks him to return to court. But before long, a loathly lady enters the court and admonishes Perceval for failing to ask his host whom the grail served and why the lance bled, as the appropriate question would have healed the wounded king.…

    Upon meeting the damsel and hearing the story of the Fisher King, the young man learns that he has made a brutal mistake in not asking about the bleeding lance or the grail and as a result the Fisher King was not able to regain his health and govern his land. Then, when the damsel asks him for his name, the young man intuitively answers that he is Perceval the Welshman. The damsel, who claims to be Perceval’s cousin, continues on to inform him of his mother’s death and tells him that her death was caused by grief of him leaving home. Hearing this, Perceval changes his route to chase the knight who has slain his cousin’s lover. Before Perceval takes off, his cousin warns him about the sword that he had received from the Fisher King. She tells…

    The Anglo-Saxons worshiped several gods and goddesses, for instance, they worshiped Balder, God of Immortality, and Tiw, God of War. To them, these Gods and what the Gods/Goddesses represented were extremely important to them. Just like children in today's world who look up to a hero in a movie, like Superman, because they view him as a role model. In a time period that involved a lot of fighting, the Anglo-Saxons wanted a king who was strong and brave, just like the Gods they worshiped. In today's society, we look for the same qualities in our leaders, just in different circumstances.…
