The Arthurian legend is basically the first sopa oprea every created. It have love, war, and chivlary all in one. The ledgen also has magic to it and can bring out anyones inner child. I think for these reason it has lived on for many years. We all enjoy the entertainment and joy that the stories bring to us.
The one flim that brings out the kid in everyone is The Sword and The Stone. The Sword and The Stone has the magic of Merlin. How he changes into animals and how Arthur is just a young boy and pulls the sword out of the stone. In the sword in the stone Arthur and Merlin talk about him pulling out the sword "Arthur: I'm in an awful pickle. I'm king! Archimedes the Owl: He pulled the sword from the stone. Merlin: Ha ha! Of course, of course. King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. Arthur: Round table? Merlin: Oh, would you rather have a square one? Arthur: Oh, no. Round will be fine." (The Sword and The Stone) The story gives off fun and jokes that can be taken from it.
Another thing in the Arthurian Ledgen that keeps it living on is the chivlary. For example in "Sir Gawain and the Lady Ragnell" Sir Gawain marrys Lady Ragnell despite what she looke like to save King Arthurs life. He also treats Lady Ragnell like anyother lady despite her looks. He is a gentelman and treats her right. "Throughout the long day and evening, Gawain rremained pleasant and courteous. Not once did his manner toward his strange bride show other than kind attention." ("Sir Gawain and Laday Ragnell") This shows chivlary to his king and bride. I think this is part of the reason the story lives on because every lady would love to be treated that way no matter what they look like.
Also the romance in the Arthurian ledgen also helps it live on. For example with Gewnivere falling in love with Sir Lancelot when she is married to Arthur give the story the romance and twist of a sopa oprea. Also in The Lady of Shallot it shows how many women are in love with Sir Lancelot and would die for him, but his heart only belongs to one laday Gewnivere. "Heard a carol, mournful, holy, chante loudly, chanted lowly till her blood frozen slowly, and her eyes were datkened wholly." (The Lady of Shallot) It shows how in love the Lady of Shallot was with Sir Lancelot that she was willing to kill herself.
There are many reason the ledgen lives on. It has humor charctertics and brings out the child in everyone. It also show chivlary which women love to read about how a night saved a lady. Romance is also a big part and the twist in romance which makes it just like a sopa oprea keeps out intrest as to what will happen next. The ledgen keeps your intrest.
