There is no new king because the old king died without heirs. In this case, Sir Ector, Wart, and Kay travel to London to participate in the tournament that will choose the new king. In London Wart he finds a sword for Kay stuck in a stone.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The question refers to the book "The Once and Future King."
  • In this book, we can see that the King of England died without leaving any descendants who could assume the throne.
  • In this case, it was decided that whoever managed to remove a sword that was stuck in a stone would be the new king and a tournament would be made for that.
  • Sir Ector and Kay want to participate in the tournament, so they go to London with Wart, a servant.
  • Upon arriving in London, Kay realizes that he left his sword at home and orders the Wart to get him another sword.

Wart finds the sword stuck in the stone and decides to take it to Kay, he pulls the sword with some ease and this makes him the new king of England, King Arthur.

These words are uttered by Macbeth after he hears of Lady Macbeth’s death, in Act 5, scene 5, lines 16–27. Given the great love between them, his response is oddly muted, but it segues quickly into a speech of such pessimism and despair—one of the most famous speeches in all of Shakespeare—that the audience realizes how completely his wife’s passing and the ruin of his power have undone Macbeth. His speech insists that there is no meaning or purpose in life. Rather, life “is a tale / Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing.” One can easily understand how, with his wife dead and armies marching against him, Macbeth succumbs to such pessimism. Yet, there is also a defensive and self-justifying quality to his words. If everything is meaningless, then Macbeth’s awful crimes are somehow made less awful, because, like everything else, they too “signify nothing.”

Read the passage from My Antonia. Those girls had grown up in the first bitter-hard times, and had got little schooling themselv
Damm [24]

My Antonia is a novel written by the Author Willa Cather in 1918. The novel tells the story of the pioneers of Nebraska and their life in the Old West, The story makes emphasis on the role of the women during that time. There are two other novels which are the thematic preceding of My Antonia: O Pioneers! and The Song of the Lark.

The theme presented in the comparison of the older siblings with the younger ones is that when it comes to character or education, there is not better school than life. This is actually the main content of the whole passage presented here.

Life experiences and hard work represent a better school and teachings than the ones you can get in the formal schooling system.
