Product Information

It should be noted that neither hiccoughs (an old term for hiccups) or heat spots are caused by microbes, in the strictest sense, but their inclusion was likely a result of the medical knowledge of the time (1938). Merlyn is a wizard who educates both Wart and Kay. He is described as being extremely powerful and in possession of many magical abilities. He tries to be a good mentor to Wart and to instill respect and kindness for other people in him. Kay

Sleeping Beauty: Aurora • Prince Phillip • Maleficent • Flora • Fauna • Merryweather • Winter Aurora • Dragon Maleficent • Briar Rose • Peridot Maleficent Pathological Indomitable Will: Madam Mim possesses an obliviousness to danger that makes her invulnerable to fear and intimidation, with nothing capable of controlling her, appealing to her better nature, or prompting her to realize her limits. Hence, Madam Mim does not fear failure and will even threaten her own life to achieve her goal or make a point. Madam Mim debuted as a face character during 2022’s Oogie Boogie Bash at Disney California Adventure. She was available for meet-and-greets, debuting alongside other villains such as Mother Gothel from Tangled, Ernesto de la Cruz from Coco, and Bruno from Encanto.Other Disney Animation Villains: Pete • Big Bad Wolf • Willie the Giant • Lonesome Ghosts • Mortimer Mouse • Magic Mirror • Honest John • Gideon • Stromboli • Monstro • Pink Elephants • Ringmaster • The Headless Horseman • Lady Tremaine • Anastasia Tremaine • Drizella Tremaine • Lucifer • Cheshire Cat • Card Soldiers • Mr. Smee • Si and Am • Aunt Sarah • Diablo • Jasper and Horace • Madam Mim • Kaa • Shere Khan • Edgar • Prince John • Sir Hiss • Sheriff of Nottingham • Heffalumps • Woozles • Madame Medusa • Brutus and Nero • Amos Slade • Horned King • Professor Ratigan • Felicia • Sykes • Flotsam and Jetsam • Percival C.

The boy's first transformation is into a perch, and while swimming in the castle's moat, he meets Mr. P., a ruthless tyrant who talks to him about power. At different points in the novel, the Wart becomes a hawk, an ant, an owl, a wild goose, and a badger: Each animal reveals to the Wart a different way of life, political philosophy, or attitude toward war. Merlyn also has his pupil witness a tilting match (or joust) between King Pellinore and Sir Grummore, where the two men reveal their absurd need to follow the rules of sportsmanlike combat.

The Sword in the Stone study guide contains a biography of T. H. White, literature essays, quiz questions, major themes, characters, and a full summary and analysis.

Aside from being arrogant and sadistic, Madam Mim is also cunning, dishonest, traitorous, calculating, and evil. Movie viewers observe this when she broke her own rules during her duel with Merlin; she even used a so-called loophole when she took on the form of a dragon. Mim clearly doesn't care in the least about rules, so she probably made them up solely for the sake of limiting Merlin (as the latter's honorable character would not allow him to break the rules), and as Merlin's pet owl, Archimedes, declares, "she only wants rules so she can break em!". Ironically, she breaks Merlin's only rule ("Rule four: No cheating") multiple times throughout their standoff. Uther Pendragon is Wart's father, the king of England. He dies towards the end of the book and Wart only learns of his parentage after this has occurred.
