Reading Notes Part A: Stories of King Arthur

Vivien sends Merlin underground

One story in particular stood out to me from this unit. The Passing of Merlin is a very sad story. It details him falling so hopefully in love that it eventually kills him. Rather, the woman he loves kills him to be rid of him. I just think that it's so sad that we as humans have so many emotions that we can't control. A lot of the time, acting solely on emotions alone leads to one's undoing, as evidenced in the story. However, it's these experiences colored by emotions which we can't control which give events and situations in our lives special meanings.
