The Queen of Air and Darkness
T. ... White wrote The Queen of Air and Darkness as a section of the four part stories of The Once and Future King. The book is intended to give readers the background of King Arthur’s childhood and life that is rarely mentioned in Malory’s Le Morte D’Arthur. ... The Queen of Air and Darkness provides the reader with pedigree of Arthur’s family and casts the tragedy and sin of King Arthur’s Camelot into motion. This information is revealed through the plot, the themes, and the characters in The Queen of Air and Darkness. ... This is the plot of the story, but in the end they all merge as Morgause takes her sons to Camelot for King Pellinore’s wedding and during this time she magically sleeps with Arthur and conceives Modred (this is why Morgause is given the name The Queen of Air and Darkness). ...
There are many themes evident in White’s The Queen of Air and Darkness. ... The young boys have a strong sense of family throughout this book. ... White’s The Queen of Air and Darkness is an excellent portrayal of King Arthur’s life once he has become king.
