Queen of Air and Darkness-Character Analysis


The Queen of Air and Darkness

     In the Queen of Air and Darkness Morgause raises four boys.  She is not a good
mother, and she does not give her boys a sense of right and wrong.  She often ignores
them for days at a time and beats them when they displease her.  She acts as if they were
pets rather than human beings, to be loved or not at her convenience .  But despite this
common maltreatment, the boys turn out very differently.
     Gawaine is the oldest of the boys and in many ways the most normal.  He becomes

to be sadistic and self-centered.  The children were told the tale of the King of Ireland by
St. Toirdealbhach; the tale where the king gets a head wound and can not be excited, but
then he dies while trying to defend his savior.  Agravaine does not see any point in putting
one’s self in danger to protect any one else.  He says “It was silly, it did no good,” because
he does not understand the principal behind the story.  He does not understand that there
are things other than yourself worth dying for.  Agravaine’s sadism is evidenced in the
Unicorn episode.  After the boys agree to captu...
