Question

In passage 2, How does the authors introduction of sir kay in the underlined sentences on page 4 relate to what comes earlier in the story.

Answer 1

Answer:

It contradicts the characterization of knights as mindless but continues to uphold traditional notions of knighthood.

Explanation:

It is of interest to note the expression "he got up and played his hands like a major- and took every trick", this was not the earlier characterization of knights. They were often portrayed as been mindless who like to bully others, etc, but here Sir Kay was seen as a premier warrior, a major indeed.
