Question

Which detail in "The Good King Arthur" shows a different key scene than "Excalibur"?
The Good King Arthur
adapted from Myths and Legends of all Nations
by Logan Marshall

The boy Arthur was the son of King Uther Pendragon, but Uther had given him into the care of the enchanter Merlin, who had carried him to the castle of Sir Hector.
Merlin was a very wise man, and when King Uther died several years later, the noblemen asked his advice in choosing a new king.
The enchanter only replied that he should gather everyone together in St. Stephen's Church in London on Christmas Day.
As directed, the knights assembled into the churchyard; there they beheld a large block of stone, upon which rested a heavy anvil. The blade of a jeweled sword was sunk deeply into the anvil.
One of them discovered an inscription upon the hilt, which said that none but the man who could draw out the sword should ever rule in Uther's place. One by one they tried, but the sword was firmly imbedded.
Years later, Sir Hector traveled to London with his foster son, Arthur, and his own son, Sir Kay, who was to take part in his first tournament; however, Sir Kay had forgotten his sword.
"I will fetch it for you," cried the young Arthur, anxious to be of service.
He found Sir Kay's apartment locked, but he was determined to get a sword for his brother, and remembering the huge anvil he had seen in the churchyard, he hurried toward it. Grasping the hilt of the projecting sword, he drew it out easily.
"The king!" the people cried; for they knew that at last they had found a worthy successor to the good King Uther.

Answer 1

The detail in "The Good King Arthur" that shows a different key scene than "Excalibur" is when Arthur, who is still just a young boy, decides to fetch a sword for Sir Kay. He remembers the huge anvil he had seen in the churchyard and hurries to it, where he effortlessly draws the sword from the stone. This scene emphasizes Arthur's unassuming nature and his determination to help his brother, contrasting with the more dramatic and epic tone typically associated with the moment of pulling the sword from the stone in other adaptations.
