patterns of three. In "Chivalry," Galaad visits Mrs.

Whitaker three times. How effectively does Gaiman use

these visits to develop the relationship between these

characters?

Respuesta :

Answer:

During the visits it is possible to perceive a kind of court that Galaad makes to Mrs. Whitaker, taking precious gifts to be exchanged for the holy grail. The insistence of Galaad and the resistance of Mrs. Whitaker, ends up generating curiosity in each other that are more available to know each other.

Explanation:

Mrs. Whitaker is a widow who lives alone and one day finds the holy grail, takes it home and uses it as a decoration. It is at this point that Galahad, an Arthurian knight, appears and becomes obsessed with the holy grail. As he is a knight, he asks Mrs. Whitaker to give the object to him, which she refuses to do. This makes Galahad visit her at other times and establish a kind of court, giving her gifts and pleasing her so that she may give him the holy grail. This makes both characters curious about each other and establish various conversations, trying to get to know each other better.
