In the words of Geoffrey Ase "One reason for their becoming popular was that they appealed to a wide variety of interests, in an age when there wasn't much in the way of imaginative fiction" The arthurian story have magic, fantasy, religion, drama, comedy and different topics that are appealing for almost everyone. The success of this epic story is its timing release, the wide topics that covers and that it is an easy reading for people of all ages.
Yes they do to clearly understand the story
The story starts with third-person omniscient point of view. When they start playing hide and seek the narrator follows Ravi and shows how he’s feeling and what he’s thinking. This means it switched to third person limited point of view. The switching between the two different point of views let’s the readers know the characters and context of the story. It also shows the readers how Ravi lost his sense of importance.
