Why does Mrs. Whitaker reject Galaad's offer of the apple of the Hesperides while accepting his other two gifts? *

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The reason that Mrs. Whitaker rejects Galaad's offer of the apple of the Hesperides while accepting his other two gifts is:

The apple of Hesperides represents Mrs. Whitaker's past. She does not want to return to her youth, out of free choice, even though she is enamored of youthful exuberance.

Explanation:

Neil Gaiman's collection of short stories, entitled "Smoke and Mirrors" (1998), has a second tale christened "Chivalry." The theme of "Chivalry" is about love, growing old, and personal choices. This Neil Gaiman's Christmas special is the story of Mrs Whitaker, who finds the Holy Grail in a charity shop. When approached by a Knight for the Holy Grail, she chose, in exchange, some precious stones, instead of the apple of the Hesperides, which could have returned her youth, a youth she remembered with nostalgia.

Ksivusya [100]

Hey there!
What he means by foul and fair is that first of all, war is always foul. People die, and it can end in victory for one side, but they will undoubtedly suffer losses.
However, there's a specific reason for this war. It's a war based on a disagreement or argument, and war was the way it was settled.
A situation can be both foul and fair if it has equal pros and cons, like suffering losses but settling an argument.
Hope this helps!

Cecily. [To Gwendolen.] That certainly seems a satisfactory explanation, does it not?
