It is a conviction of the young King Arthur that "to act with a desire for the good, even if we may act wrongly, is better than not to act at all." Through several episodes in the novel readers encounter the failure of a well-intended virtuous act, but such actions are not to be judged in terms of whether they succeed or fail.
