Camelot Conclusion

Watching Merlin this morning's episode the crowned prince was preparing people for battle, and he taught fighting skills, sure, but I noticed another parallel between Authur and all other great English kings idolized in movies, part of their training or natural ability is to be a leader, I noticed that right before battle they give a great speech and it is that mental preparation that truly makes an army strong. I was predisposed to this idea through my admiration of Moroni in the Book of Mormon. His story provides standards and ideals much as Homer does with his "Odessey". Moroni rallies his folk mentally, by reminding them that they are not contending out of anger, but love of their homes and families. So, my conclusion is that Camelot is a story told to prepare English people to embrace a morality as ideal, and still today those are the same principles that we all believe in today and that Hollywood uses to spread them.
