PILGRIM The Knight (lines 43-80) ESTATE 1st Estate Clergy 2nd Estate Nobility/military 3rd Estate Peasants/merchants 4 HOW DOES THE PILGRIM LOOK? The knight pilgrim looked practical and wore a dirty cotton robe since he had just come back from the battle ground. The cotton robe is his every day dress which he wore under his armor during the battle. CHAUCER'S CHARACTERIZATION Chaucer describes the knight based on his character and virtue and describes him as a man with chivalry, honor, truth, and courtesy and he performs his duty of protecting his people. Chaucer gives little importance to physical appearance and gives more significance to characteristics and virtues and says that nobody says anything bad about the knight since he is the perfect embodiment of honor and follows the knight's code. Chaucer's attitude towards the knight is full of respect and admiration and positively portrays him and provides priority to his goodness. TWO DETAILS 1. "a most distinguished man...Followed chivalry/Truth, honor, generousness, and courtesy." (Lines 43- 46) 2. He was wise/And in his bearing modest as a maid/. He never yet a boorish thing had said/ in all his life to any, come what might/. He was a true perfect gentle knight." (lines 70-74) CHAUCER'S ATTITUDE Chaucer's attitude towards the knight is full of respect and admiration and positively, simple dressing, fulfilling of his duties, and absence of any unfavorable traits all together depict him as a good example for the 2nd estate.
