Character Analysis: The Knight
- The author uses direct characterizationg but the narrator relys on indirect characterizing to reveal key aspects about the knights personality
Ex: Indirect: the author shows that the knight is a leader when he takes on the roll to tell the first story. Direct: the narrator states that in line 86 "...with agility and strength."
- Chaucer displays a large and diverse range of attitude towards life. The tales are satirical and comical. Another tone is also very admiring towards the knight.
- Humor: As the plot continues to follow the plan, the irony between the good knight and his death after achieving the goal of his dream girl. The knight was given the chance to become free and leave his life behind yet he returns to battle in order to win over the love of another girl. The knight ultimately lead himself into his own death which was ironic because he was originally freed by the other knight.
