He had many hidden talents that were not readily available to others. He was a unique force of nature. But he was a young man who was rejected by society. As previously mentioned in my last trivia, he had psychic powers that enabled him to see into the future. He could also command things at will, He was considered to be an unconventional person in some circles where he dwelt. This phenomenon stirred much concern amongst the citizens in the land. According to tradition, Merlin was raised by his mother in a woodland environment. He enjoyed spending time with flora and fauna. He was a day-dreamer. He was a mystic. However, no information was ever truly disclosed about his earthly father. So because of this disgrace, Merlin was shunned and ridiculed by the other children in the land. He was called a mother's boy by today's standard. Similar to today's Charlie Brown or Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Merlin likewise was mocked and scorned. It was for these reasons that I chose to illustrate Merlin in this musical fantasy as an unfocused, dejected, an unfulfilled person. My one and only goal was to allow Merlin to realize his true potential by the conclusion of the production. </div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="id78.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Merlin Trivia Menu"><U>Return to Trivia Menu</U></A>     <FONT SIZE="6" COLOR="#FFCC33" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B><IMG SRC="12d123240.gif" border=0 width="35" height="36" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">     </B></FONT><A HREF="id82.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Merlin Trivia 20060414"><U>Next Trivia Item</U></A><FONT SIZE="6" COLOR="#FFCC33" FACE="Comic Sans MS" ><B>  </B></FONT></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
