My teacher said that if we can come up with 5 reasons montypython and the holy grail relate to english class, we can watch it in class. (currently learning about oedipus and greek drama's and commedies)
so far we have
1. Difference between Greek comedies and current comedies
2. Compare the blind prophet in Monty Python to tieresias.
3. Is king Arthur a tragic hero?
4.
5.

Answer 1

first of all, it's the Knights Who Say Ni, not nee.
yes King Arthur is a tragic hero.--3
even after a valiant struggle, arthur loses the quest (and most of his group).--4
the characters talk to God (like some greek theater if i remember right)--5
if that last one dosen't count, just beg your teacher till he gives in. some buttering up couldn't hurt either. just dont tell him about the one scene with the 70 virgins

Answer 2
