Quote #7
"I ought to have thought of the people who had no armour." (Q.2.75)
Arthur learns another valuable lesson. The poor people suffer for what the rich knights consider mostly "blood sport" and "athletics." The serfs and villeins can't afford to buy fancy armor to protect themselves from sharp blades and other medieval weapons. So they usually suffer the most casualties in war.
Quote #8
In the clean bog-wind of the high tops, they discussed the hunt. Meg, who cried incessantly, was held by the hair to prevent her from running away, and occasionally passed from one boy to the other, if the one who was holding her happened to want both hands for gestures. (Q.7.91)
Meg the kitchen maid is powerless, even against these little G-boys (the oldest of whom is 14). The passive voice emphasizes this: "was held by the hair" and "passed from one boy to the other." Even though the boys think this is a game, Meg certainly isn't having fun, and we see even more casual cruelty from these always-charming children.
Quote #9
A joculator was a juggler, a low kind of minstrel, and Sir Grummore did not relish the idea at all. (Q.9.11)
This is when Sir Palomides suggests that he and Grummore play dress-up as the Questing Beast to cheer up Pellinore. This is some hilarious comic relief, but the passage also shows that there is a class hierarchy even among entertainers. Grummore, a high and mighty knight, won't get down off of his high horse to go slumming like this.
