Question

In Morte d’Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory, Sir Bedivere tried to conform to King Arthur’s wishes to throw the sword in the lake; when he did not, King Arthur reprimanded him. What is this an example of?

Answer 1

King Arthur expects his knight to act in a chivalrous manner.

Step-by-step explanation:

Every knight was expected to listen and obey to his king's rules. Sir Bedivere did not follow this rule, this is the reason why Arthur reprimanded him for not doing what he was ordered to do. It was important during this time to be loyal to the king, and do whatever he wants.
