Read the passage. From Morte D’Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory And thus they fought all the long day, and never stinted till the noble knights were laid to the cold earth. And ever they fought still till it was near night, and by then was there a hundred thousand laid dead upon the down. What element of medieval romance is illustrated by the bolded words? legend romance poetic phrasing alliteration

Answer 1

Answer:

Idealization of chivalry, imaginary qualities, mystery, the quest, suspense and magic are the elements of the medieval romance that has been depicted in Morte D’Arthur.

Explanation:

One of the medieval elements is idealization of chivalry as in, ”the noble knights,” then  mystery and suspense in the phrase “near night”. Imagination and quest can be seen in the whole poem and not just in this bolded extract.  

“A hundred thousand laid dead upon”, is yet another example of medieval romance invoking the imaginary quality of the readers.
