Literary duel escalates with Lancelot’s victory

Blackbeard’s weapon is wielded in a brutal swing against D’Artagnan, disarming him and symbolizing the Master’s shift toward aggression. The weapon’s role is purely functional—it serves as a tool of brute force in the Master’s desperate attempt to overwhelm the Doctor’s champions. Its use highlights the contrast between the Master’s reliance on violence and the Doctor’s strategic deployment of narrative authority (e.g., Sir Lancelot’s sword).

Before: Possessed by Blackbeard, ready for use in the duel.
After: Discarded or sheathed after Blackbeard’s defeat, no longer a threat.
