The Sword In The Stone: Kay Gets What He Deserves
... and said that he was inferior, upsetting the Wart, he learned to
simply give in to Kay and always let him get his own way. After this
constant torment and opportunities only available to Kay, I think that it
is only deserving that, in the end, the Wart becomes more powerful and
important than Kay, Sir Ector and the other people who had always `ruled'
him.

... or tragic audience.
Both authors were aware of the untimeliness of their books. Hawthorne, in the famous letter to his publisher, Fields, spoke of fearing that his novel would "weary very many people and disgust some" by keeping so close, and with so little diversification, to "the same dark idea." Would he have an audience receptive to his peculiar view of things?

Hawthorne had to make his own audience, to lead it by easy stages, as it were, into the dark idea. H ...
