The Tale of the Mantle
I find the idea of shame to be an interesting notion during the saga of the mantle. The knights all feel shame that there private lives and troubles are being exposed. Yet in all of the fuss between knights the women are getting no sympathy at all for being exposed by a magical bib. The shame is that during this period any exposed body-parts were meant to be covered at all cost. Yet we have these knights making comments on these women, while looking them over. It seems to dawn to Arthur that this may be an extreme event, but he as usual is quickly silenced. All of this begs the question, how far would the knights go into a quest or task before it reaches absurdity for even them?
