Commentary on the Tale ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Theseus is not only royalty – making this a fit character to star in a Courtly Romance – but he’s also the pinnacle of success when it comes to the Knightly virtues. He’s conquered many lands, but he’s also wise and still observes the rules of chivalry. He’s not a tyrant.

Commentary on the Tale ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],The description of the fight is very “courtly.” They announce their intentions at great length before they actually begin fighting. They’re observing the “rules of engagement.” It’s a very honorable fight.

Commentary on the Tale ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Emily is all physical description of her beauty – hair, dress, the way she walks. She also is doing “womanly” things - walking in the garden, picking flowers, making a garland for her hair.

Literary Devices ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Here, the Knight clarifies why he is about to go off on a tangent describing the stadium erected by Theseus. It’s as if he doesn’t want to be accused of being a bad story-teller Here, the Knight seems to be giving a higher purpose to his tale, he’s asking the reader to philosophically reflect on the situation In this excerpt, it’s the opposite, he’s justifying why he doesn’t go into the detail. This seems to suggest that he is enchanted with these kinds of stories and has lots at his disposal.
