Read the excerpt from Le Morte d’Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory.

Then Sir Bedivere departed, and went to the sword, and lightly took it up, and went to the water side; and there he bound the girdle about the hilts, and then he threw the sword as far into the water as he might . . .

Read the excerpt from "Morte d'Arthur” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

Then quickly rose Sir Bedivere, and ran,

And, leaping down the ridges lightly, plunged

Among the bulrush-beds, and clutch’d the sword,

And strongly wheel’d and threw it.

Tennyson’s version portrays Sir Bedivere with more

excitement than Sir Thomas Malory’s version does.
happiness than Sir Thomas Malory’s version does.
action than Sir Thomas Malory’s version does.
sorrow than Sir Thomas Malory’s version does.

There seems to be more action than in Sir Thomas Malory's version. Tennyson is known as one of the greatest British Poets. In Malory's version, there are few adjectives to describe the situation. Instead of simply departed, Tennyson used "quickly rose". Instead of "went to the sword and took it up", Tennyson uses "LEAPING down the ridges ... lightly PLUNGED among the bulrush-beds". And it continues. There is more action because of the increased used of adjectives to describe the movements of the character.
