The Story of King Arthur and His Knights

What actions and attitudes characterize Arthur as the perfect example of chivalric knighthood? How might these relate to moral attitudes at the time Pyle wrote the book (1903)?

How do suits of armor, especially helmets and shields, impact the reader’s understanding of identity?

Compare and contrast Pyle’s version of the Arthurian mythology with another adaptation, such as T. H. White’s The Once and Future King. How do the author’s unique choices affect the themes and meaning of the story?
