Daily Literary Quote
“In the Middle Ages, cathendrals and convents burned like tinder; imagining a medieval story without a fire is like imagining a World War II movie in the Pacific without a fighter plane shot down in flames.” Umberto Eco Journal Prompt What comes to mind when you think about the Middle Ages? What are some stories or movies that are set during or have characters from the Medieval Era?

When I think of Middle Ages I think of mead and the video game Skyrim. Skyrim is isn’t a story or film but it’s a video game that is based around the Middle Ages. One can fight dragons, plunder villages, and drink as much mead as your coin purse can buy.
Kayla

There definitely was a lot of fighting
Will

When I think Midieval I think of manners and how proper they were. I can’t think of any movies or stories off the top of my head.

Aimee

Things like castles, knights, and dragons come to mind. A movie that I think of is the Disney film, Sword in the Stone.
Nate

With Middle Ages, I usually imagine knight, swords and traditional armor, and war. I also tend to think of fantasy stories because they often are set in a time line where technology is more simple than modern day inventions. Some books I’ve read that are set in medieval ages would be Eragon, and a book I’m reading now called Malice is set in a medieval themed world.

I hadn’t thought of the Eragon series before you mentioned it. They were most certainly set in the Middle Ages.
Sarah
10/24/2018 10:19:58 am
Yeah I think specifically of their swords when I think of medieval war
Hailey Jo

I think of movies like Robin Hood, Sword in the Stone, or A Knights Tale. The Middle Ages makes me think of kings, and knights. I think of nobel quests like in Shrek.
Kayla
10/24/2018 10:07:33 am
Robin Hood is a good one
Katelyn
10/24/2018 10:09:56 am
Sword in the stone is one of my favorites.
Kelsey

I love the examples that you provided.
Will
10/24/2018 10:06:39 am
What comes to my mind when I think about the medieval age are nights, swords, brutal deaths, and people going on a quest.
Nutt

Your statement sounds accurate.
Konner
10/24/2018 10:14:23 am
Swords ⚔️ is a good one
Konner

Dark times is the first on mind. Holy grail.

The only thing that comes to my mind about the Middle Ages are the knights and the Pope.
Aimee
10/24/2018 10:10:49 am
I never thought about the pope.
Kelsey
10/24/2018 10:14:14 am
Same😂
Alexis Anderson

The Pope is a good example.
Jennifer
10/24/2018 10:06:56 am
When I think back to the Middle Ages I think of the plague. Back when the plague had hit again it wiped out quite a large sum of people. I can’t recall any stories or movies well enough to use as an example.
Hailey jo

The Disney movie Brave is a good example
Robyn

A story set during the medevil era would be the Hobbit. When I think about the Medival era I think of knights and kings and queens.
Cherish
10/24/2018 10:11:34 am
The Hobbit is a great example of the Middle Ages.
Sarah
10/24/2018 10:18:10 am
The Hobbit is an awesome book

When I think of Medieval times I think of Monarchy. Some shows that enjoy based in that time period are The Last Kingdom and Vikings.

What comes to mind when I think of the Middle Ages is knights and kings and other forms of nobility. The first movie that came to my mind was Bravehart. Some other ones that I have thought of are Quest for the Holy Grail and King Arthur.
Katelyn

There always seems to be a theme of guests and adventures when it sets a medieval tone to the story.

Monty Python is the best.
Kelsey

When I think of Middle Ages I think of kings, queens and peasants. I was going to use the Netflix series ‘Reign’ but it is set 100 year after the Middle Ages.
Kiana Farnworth
10/24/2018 10:14:39 am
Reign came to mind for me as well.
James

I think of knights and folklore such as King Arthur. Merlin and Braveheart are set in medieval times.
Connor

Books I've read come to mind when I think of the middle ages. Another thing is the market places that you see in movies and knights. The Huntsman Winters Was, Brave, and Red Riding Hood. Leave a Reply. |
