Chivalry, a fancy word for picking up babes
(A discussion of chivalry using texts discussed in class) Since the first group of humans gathered, there has been a single problem that has plagued men and women. This plague has been imbedded in the very core being of each human; this plague is something that occurs when a man first sees a beautiful confident woman, the feeling of butterflies flying around inside his stomach. The plague reaches women the instant the man introduces himself while looking deep into her eyes. In turn, the woman too gets the same feeling of butterflies flying inside her stomach.

The Roman, Greek and Trojan warriors all did this expecting no women in return or monetary compensation; they simply did this for glory in the afterlife. Beowulf was an epic that introduced the idea of chivalry; although the text didn’t say chivalry, it is considered the first text to introduce the concept of chivalry.
