The Modern Arthur

Considering that Meg Cabot set King Arthur's court in high school, it works fairly well. All of the drama makes more sense, except Marco's supposed murder attempt. Arthur's ideals make more sense today than they would have when the legend was started. I think that Arthur's ideals fit in today's settings because more people have a voice and issues are being acknowledged and talked about.

I feel that Will and Ellie's characters portray King Arthur's ideals and high school well because that is what we have come to expect from fictional high school settings. Drama, the geeky girl and perfect jock guy, that perfect jock guy who also defends the little guy. King Arthur's legendary court fits in with high school because they act like high schoolers, running off to do dumb shit without a care in the world of what might happen. Not to mention the love triangle that is oh so common in modern fiction.
