1 Comprehension Intertextuality is the connection that some texts have with each other. Texts make connections through their story-lines, settings, themes, contexts, characters and language. A whole text may be transformed into a modern text, or a text may borrow from or refer to another text. For example, the teenage romance film 10 Things I Hate About You borrows heavily from Shakespeare s The Taming of the Shrew. A famous story such as the legend of King Arthur may exist in various forms such as a movie, poem, novel, comic strip, cartoon or biography. The three texts that follow are all derived from the original legend of King Arthur. Read them and answer the questions. Novel King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table T Intertextuality 1 hat is the strangest sight in the world! exclaimed Arthur to Merlin. They were sitting in a deep embrasure in the castle walls, gazing at the road which wound up to the castle from the town. Four ox-carts were struggling along the road, weighed down by an enormous burden. A Round Table, continued the king. Yes, it s a huge Round Table. Merlin sprang up from his chair and stared out of the window in great excitement. It must be the famous Round Table of King Leodegrance! he said. This famous table was specially made to the king s requirements to hold two hundred and fifty knights, the flower of Welsh knighthood. I never thought to see the day when Leodegrance parted with the Round Table. But after a great deal of reflection, the King of Cameliard had decided to send the Round Table to Camelot, as a token of his loyalty to Arthur, and as a wedding present for his daughter. The days in which Leodegrance could summon up two hundred and fifty knights were long since past; the effects of numerous wars with pagans and chieftains had been to reduce his chivalry to nearer fifty than two hundred and fifty. The empty seats at the table mocked him. He decided to pass the table on to a younger man. Arthur received the gift with joy. This table is an inspiration to me, he told Gwenevere and Merlin. You know that it is my dearest wish to drive the invaders back into the sea, and extend my kingdom from shore to shore. I shall found the Fellowship of the Round Table. Every knight who takes the oath of the Round Table shall be pledged to dedicate his life to the service 1

The Round Table should stand for all that is best in chivalry, he answered. In the days of Leodegrance s prime it stood for high adventure. There are still many adventures to be had in Britain today, and many battles to be fought before the pagans are routed and the evil witches cast down. Between them Arthur and Merlin planned a triple oath for the Knights of the Round Table. First to step forward to swear the oath of the Round Table was Sir Lancelot. As he did so a clap of thunder resounded through the castle hall, and the room was plunged in darkness. When the gloom cleared it could be seen that above each seat of the Round Table a name was written in letters of gold. Many of the names were still unknown to Arthur. Merlin solved the mystery. This miracle shows that God s blessing is upon the Round Table, explained the wizard. It will Reading for understanding 1 What is the novelist s purpose in the passage? 2 As the action begins, what are Merlin and King Arthur doing? be many years before every place is filled at the table, for as yet your knighthood does not number anything like two hundred and fifty. But in time every place shall be filled. Then Merlin pointed to one seat, above which no name was written. As he pointed, letters of fire formed over the seat: No one shall sit here, unless he be the best knight in all the world. What can this mean? exclaimed the king, crossing himself. That is the Seat Perilous, said the wizard. Even Sir Lancelot may not sit in that seat. For the time being he refused to say more. Then all the king s knights took their appointed places, and swore the triple oath of the Round Table. Following Sir Lancelot, there was Sir Kay and Sir Bedevere, Sir Gawaine, Arthur s proud nephew, Sir Egremont, Sir Walter, and many others. from King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table by Antonia Fraser 3 What evidence can you find to show that the table was very large and heavy? 4 Why had the table been specially made? 5 What was Arthur s dearest wish? 6 What pledge would each knight, who took the oath of the Round Table, have to make? 7 What happened as Sir Lancelot stepped forward to swear the oath of the Round Table?
3 1 Intertextuality 3 8 What could be seen when the gloom cleared? 9 What explanation did Merlin give for the miracle that had occurred? 10 Why were many of the names above the seats at the Round Table unknown to Arthur? 11 Use the back-of-the-book dictionary to find the meanings of these words: a b c Cartoon embrasure: pagans: chivalry: Reading for meaning 1 The cartoonist has based the cartoon on the legend of King Arthur.

8 8 Complete English Basics 3 Hints for writing Creating imaginary characters Successful novelist John Marsden has the following advice for writers who want to create memorable characters. To make your major characters come to life you must endow them with unique details. Something about the way they dress, for example? The jewellery they wear? Do they have tattoos, braces, glasses, facial hair, make-up, painted nails? Is there something odd about them? Perhaps they wear two watches, or carry a spare pair of socks in their pocket, or wear a badge with a picture of Big Bird. Of course it s in their attitudes, opinions, thoughts, personalities that your characters will truly express their uniqueness, but the little details of dress and appearance help. Think about behaviour too. Perhaps you could have a character chewing the back of their hand whenever they listen to someone, or refusing to speak when they drive, or irritatingly humming the same tune for weeks on end. These mannerisms are all important to help the reader think of people as individuals. from Everything I Know About Writing by John Marsden In the following detailed description of Sir Lancelot, from her novel The Light Beyond the Forest, writer Rosemary Sutcliff uses techniques that John Marsden advocates. Lancelot Now Sir Lancelot of the Lake was an ugly man, with an ugliness such as women love. His dark face under the thick badger-streaked hair looked as though it had been put together in haste, so that the two sides of it did not match. One side of his mouth was grave with heavy thought, while the other lifted in joy; one eyebrow was level as a falcon s wing and the other flew wild like a mongrel s ear. He had lived forty-five summers and winters in the world, and loved and sorrowed and triumphed and fought to the utmost, and every joy and sorrow and striving had set its mark on him. from The Light Beyond the Forest by Rosemary Sutcliff Now try to create a fictional character of your own from one of these genres: fantasy science fiction historical fiction horror
