Essay Topic 1

Magic is used constantly in the story - sometimes for good and sometimes for bad. Do you feel this story could have been told without the magical elements? Why or why not? Give three examples of scenes in which magic was used, but didn't need to be - in your opinion.

Essay Topic 2

Doing something because you are told you should is something that also factors into many characters' lives in this story. Morgaine is told she is to give her maidenhead during a ceremony, and she does so without question. How do you think you would have responded if you were told the same thing? What would you have done? Why or why not? Keep in mind that this "order" is coming from the high priestess of Avalon.

Making promises is something that doesn't seem to work in this story. Cite three different times when a promise was made, but was then broken. What do you think this says about the characters who were involved? Should the promise have been made in the first place? Why or why not?
