The magical characters in Sir Thomas Malory's text Le Morte D'Arthur appear contradictory; Merlin, Nimue and Morgan Le Fay employ magic to assist and destroy. This thesis endeavors to create a more comprehensive understanding of these characters by employing history, the Celtic origins of the characters and the evolutions of the characters in a source study of Malory through his predecessors, Geoffrey of Monmouth and the authors of the French Vulgate Cycle. The imperfect fusion of the Celtic and pagan religions and the confusion of the place of magic in society, which is evinced in the budding medieval sciences, parallel the allure and threat of the magical characters in Malory's Arthuriad. By tracking the metamorphoses of the characters in the source studies and aligning them with their Celtic origins, I conclude that these characters are not contradictory; rather, they function as misunderstood Celtic forces in Malory's Christianized, Arthurian society.
