Which textual evidence best supports the conclusion
that Arthur respects tradition?
Read the excerpt from Sir Gawain and the Green
Knight.
Yet Arthur would not eat until they were all served.
He seemed full of the joy of youth, almost a boy.
He was happy with his life; he cared little
For lying in bed or sitting still for a long time,
His young blood so stirred him and his wild brain.
And there was a custom, besides, that he meant to
keep,
That he had assumed in his noble way: he would not
eat
On such a holiday until he had been told
A tale all new of some wonderful event...
He seemed full of the joy of youth, almost a boy
He was happy with his life; he cared little
For lying in bed or sitting still for a long time
His young blood so stirred him and his wild brain.
And there was a custom, besides, that he meant to
keep,
That he had assumed in his noble way
Mark this and return
Save and Exit
