Legend versus Mainstream society The Dual Characterization of Merlin Merlin has existed as the quintessential nonexistent otherworldly figure for a considerable length of time. Conspicuous by name before even the composition of Sir Thomas Malory's Morte Darthur, the Merlin figure infests craftsmanship all through time, highlighted in various books, works of art, and movies. Despite the fact that the general accord on Merlin's attitude endures as his being an astute, baffling guide, a second form of the character has emerged because of enlivened kids' movies, explicitly Walt Disney's The Sword in the Stone. This present film's depiction of Merlin as an odd, bizarre loner who verges on absurdity now and again has affected numerous different adjustments of the character incorporating the one portrayed in DreamWorks' Shrek the Third. While an unusual and odd Merlin contradicts his conventional portrayal, the medium requires the need of Merlin being introduced along these lines.
