Read this excerpt from part two of King Arthur's Socks: A Comedy in One Act.

LANCELOT: (desperately, rising as he speaks) I am going to be married.

GUENEVERE: (in a mocking simulation of surprise) What, again?

LANCELOT: Yes—again—and as soon as possible—to Vivien.

GUENEVERE: I congratulate you.

Why does the author have Guenevere and Lancelot discuss his engagement?
to illustrate Guenevere’s kind feelings toward her friend
to show their tendency toward manners and propriety
to suggest Lancelot’s loyalty to his bride-to-be
to emphasize their mutual hopes for the future
