Merlin: A man from Birth

Reading the Prose of Merlin was a certain challenge and one that I found most interesting. Merlin's conception was one of unnatural and done with the most unholy of circumstances. One thing that is not understood is that the child, that was Merlin, is defending and protecting a mother who blames him for the position she is in. Despite the heritage of Merlin he is able to grow up wise and knowledgeable and loved by the King and the people of the kingdom. One man did not believe Merlin had prophetic abilities and is proven correct by the man's on death. The people of the kingdom  do not believe Merlin is faire becuase the king still shows Merlin great It is intersting that even tough the King shows Merlin respect the Pope and monks still agree to go through the test and seeing if the man is going to die.

The Prose of Merlin was written for both men and women. The one sided love story between Merlin and Viviane is written for the women while tales like "The Battle of Salisbury and the erection of Stonehedge" was written for the men of the society having battle strataggies in them.
Someone as wise as Merlin would claim to be is would know how to gain a woman's affections without the use of his drugs in an honest way. I was unaware wisdom was born through decietfulness.  This was most insulting and shameful. However the huntress that visited the castle and caught Merlin's eye had no affection for him and seemed to play him like a fiddle. She took advantage of Merlin's affections and allowed herself a house built for her on her favorite isaland; she allowed herself majic spells taught to her by Merlin. Though Merlin simply wanted to deflower she harboroed much hatraid for him. Even though he kept his promise and never tried to vex him or force himself upon her, Viviane still hated poor Merlin.
