The main ideas of Chivalry that are displayed in the texts, “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight” and, “Morte d’Arthur,” are, courage, honor and…

too demanding for them, there existed an extolled code of chivalry that men were expected to live by. Knights were supposed to be brave, loyal, honest, generous, and kind. They were expected to defend the weak, be fair to their opponents, and respect women. However, it has been a long time since the 1100s and society has changed a lot since then. And while chivalry has clung to life for a long time, it is slowly losing it’s grip. Chivalry is dying, and soon there will none left at all. Not all…

institution of chivalry forms one of the most remarkable features in the history of the Middle Ages.”- Horatio Alger. Chivalry may be considered dead today for most people, but even back when chivalry was alive some people, at times, still failed to show it. For instance, in “Morte d’ Arthur” Sir Bedivere exemplifies chivalry by being loyal to one’s king and fails to exemplify it by not being true to his words. Also in “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight” Sir Gawain exemplifies chivalry by showing…
