The Book of Merlyn

The blend of moral questions with Arthurian legend adds depth, but I wonder if the philosophical elements were planned from the start or developed during writing.

The tonal shifts kept me on my toes, but I was curious whether White aimed for this contrast or if it evolved naturally through the story.

This duality made Merlyn feel more human and complex. I wonder what influenced White to craft him this way and how it reflects on the story's messages.
