more commonly known as the knights in the medieval times were of great importance in the feudalism system as they were the link between the wealthy and the poverty. The military also played one of the main roles in protecting the King and the subjects of the King. The knights were known for their code of honor, chivalry and were loyal to people, even to their enemy knights as they still belonged to the same group of people. Only the son of a noble could become a knight, and sons of nobles were…

Honesty is more than telling the truth, it means having integrity. The pilgrim who shows these traits the most is the Knight. The Knight "followed chivalry/Truth, honor, generousness, and courtesy"(Lines 45-46). He does great things for his kingdom and the people in it. He even remains humble in spite of those achievements. Similarly to the Knight, the Parson is a respectable person. "He [is] an honest worker, good and true/Living in peace and perfect charity"(Lines 142-143). The Parson helps…

cheating, 3.) You must have respect for your king, your queen, your country, your friends and women. Recently we read a short story called The Green Knight. I believe that this story has three examples of chivalry and what they mean. First of all, I believe the first message is that you need to have courage when it comes to Chivalry. The Green knight comes to Arthur's…

Knighthood Knights lead very difficult and burdensome life, but becoming a knight was a greater honor than being a knight. Knights began their training at the age of seven when they were sent off to a local castle to become pages. These pages spent seven years training their bodies for the trials yet to come. They were taught how to properly use weapons by the lord of that castle and how to dance and sing by the lady of the castle. At the age of fourteen the page…

Once he had grown up, he took it upon himself to do everything in his power to gain the strength and ability to become a knight with the help of his squires Roland and…

Chivalry is the golden standard by which all noble knights conduct themselves. No knight embodies this notion more than Sir Gawain. The tale of Sir Gawain and the green knight is a perfect example of the nature of chivalry, courtly love and the struggle to maintain the epitome of honor, truth, and chastity. However, the best of knight's can still fall prey to the wiles of women and the perils of cowardly thoughts despite the chivalric training. The nature of chivalry is not just in the code…

My first impression upon reading The Tower of the Elephant by Robert E. Howard was that Conan is the classic example of a hero starting at the lowest of low, and then doing great things despite this low status. Conan began the story as nothing more than a drunken barbarian seeking to gain wealth when he gains word of a magical gem hidden away in the Tower of the Elephant.
