… Eh, except Hamlet’s father was a bit of an asshole, whilst Mordred’s father was King Arthur, a person of justice and unity. Sooooo….
Who fucked his sister, (yes he was tricked but it still happened and he tried to pretend like it didn’t happen and he didn’t have a bastard son) ignored multiple codes of honor in both the code of chivalry and code of courtly love, and actually was a pretty shitty king who had a lot of questionable men who ALSO broke multiple codes chosen as his knights of the round table
I studied this shit for months because our AP lit class was supposed to
hold a full on trial for each knight of the round table and king arthur
himself to judge if they were really just or not. I was Mordred’s
defender, and I will stand by him completely because I studied the SHIT
out of his case and by his own peoples’ laws and beliefs, he was
probably the most chivalrous person there. The ‘wrongs’ that he did were to protest the violations of the codes that the king, his wife, and lancelot broke on multiple occasions.
don’t even get me started on Arthurian lore.
