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.
