| Summary |
"Arthur: A Tragedy" by Laurence Binyon is a dramatic play written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the legendary King Arthur and the complex relationships of his knights, particularly Sir Launcelot and Queen Guenevere. The narrative explores themes of love, loyalty, betrayal, and the impending doom faced by Arthur's court. At the start of "Arthur: A Tragedy," we encounter Sir Bernard's castle at Astolat, where his son Lavaine learns of King Arthur's victorious return. The plot soon unravels as Launcelot's true identity is revealed, leading to conflict concerning his affection for Queen Guenevere. The dynamics are further complicated by the devising of Sir Mordred, who hints at treachery against Arthur. The characters grapple with issues of loyalty and honor as they confront the consequences of their relationships, setting the stage for the tragic unfolding of events in Arthur's realm.
