The Nocab worship an ancient piece of bacon made by their founder Gregg Bacon. You have to bow down to the piece of ancient bacon when it is Nocab Day. Then, you have to make a piece of bacon and give it to your friends and if you don’t have any friends you feed yourself. They have a tradition on Nocab Day when they have to butcher a pig and the next day make it’s meat into crispy bacon. Also, every 3 years they kill half of the population of pigs, and breed the other half.
Due to not taking account of the possible consequences that eventually materialize, Arthur’s success actually results in failure. Moreover, after Arthur initiates a search for the Holy Grail (the third phase) in order to refocus the Round Table, it is noted that, “Half the knights had been killed--the best half. What Arthur had feared from the start of the Grail Quest had come to pass. If you achieve perfection, you die. There had been nothing left for Galahad to ask of God, except death.
He did not want Arthur to worry about how he perceived him. He states, “…I wish I could talk to him about it. I wanted to say, “Dig it, man, whatever your life is, it’s perfectly alright with me. I just want you to be happy. Can you dig that?

However, he sometimes fails to follow his own dogma; an example would be him knowing Lancelot and Guenever having an affair behind his back, but he tries to ignore it because of his excessive trust in his friends. Before Arthur’s battle with Mordred, he has already developed into complex figure; “Perhaps man was neither good nor bad, was only a machine in an insensate universe” page 630. During his contemplation, he had several epiphanies about human nature.
The idea of a farm boy becoming the true king was so repulsive to some nobles that they refused to acknowledge that Arthur was successful in pulling out a sword, forcing him remove the sword multiple times, until the common people demanded that Arthur has proven his worth and that he should be crowned king. Even after being crowned king, he was engaged in the Eleven Kings War, where eleven nobles claiming to be the true kings challenged Arthur to the throne. Arthur successfully, put down each rebellion and stood tall as the people’s new king (Source B3). Through time King Arthur became an astounding, relished leader with a true mind for the people. During his time as king, he inspired the idea of the Round Table, debatably King Arthur’s most
When Arthur was away he was fighting with his son and will never be able to come back from losing his men. He was devastated to find out his wife was going to marry Modred bc she was being forced but Modred knew that she has been having an affair with Lancelot so. That does play on evil because she was supposed to be loyal and was not at the time. He was battling with evil no matter where he is and it is killing him so he doubted himself so many times bc of all the good he has done and the evil of his stepson and the evil of his best friend taking his
King Arthur is one of the best kings that has ruled over Britain, throughout all of history. Arthur ruled with honor, loyalty, and chivalry, which made him a great king.

Many historians believe that Richard was a homosexual, and rumors of his dalliances with other men were whispered during his lifetime. I will argue that the Gawain poet shaped his subject matter, a tale of Arthurian legend, to suit the secret tastes of his king. The author of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight uses homoerotic imagery, homosocial bonding, and triangulation of desire to reveal a coded celebration of homosexual love.

“Academic success,” for me, doesn’t mean graduating high school with a 4.0 GPA and attending an Ivy League college with a ton of scholarships. Personally, the term “academic success” means being able to feel proud of my own dedication and the hard work that I put in. Having the end result ultimately be, walking across the stage at graduation; whether that be at my high school graduation next year or my college graduation down the line.
