1. Kay first claims he drew the sword, then tells the truth. Why do you think he lied at first?
2. Sir Ector tells Arthur, "I was afraid of Merlin at first, but later I loved you." What does this reveal about what it means to be a parent?
3. Some knights refuse to accept Arthur as king because of who his parents were. How much should a person's family background affect their opportunities in life?
4. Arthur's entire identity changes in this scene — he learns he has different parents, a different family, a different destiny. Have you ever learned something surprising about your own family or background? How did it feel?
5. Leondegrance says, "I saw what I saw." He accepts the evidence in front of him, even when it's inconvenient. Can you think of a time when someone refused to accept a result that was right in front of them?
