| Summary | "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3" by Mark Twain is a novel likely written during the late 19th century, a time known for its exploration of themes surrounding modernity, technology, and society. This satirical work combines elements of science fiction and historical fantasy as it follows an American engineer, Hank Morgan, who is transported back to the Arthurian age through a mysterious time vortex. The book critiques romanticized notions of chivalry and the absurdities of societal norms in medieval times juxtaposed with contemporary American values. In this part of the narrative, the protagonist, Hank, faces the uncomfortable realities of medieval life while donning cumbersome armor, highlighting the difficulties of life in the past. As he and his companion Alisande navigate the landscape, he becomes increasingly frustrated with his situation, reflecting on the oppressive structures of feudal society, particularly in conversations with the poor laborers they encounter. The dynamics between social classes are central to Hank's observations, as he expresses a desire to inspire change and educate the common people about their rights and dignity. As Hank gathers knights to his cause, he seeks to transform the oppressive systems of Arthur's Britain, aiming for a society that embraces individual freedoms rather than subservience to feudal lords.
