Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales” is a selection of stories that pilgrims use to tell stories that occurred as they traveled to a holy shrine in Canterbury. At first reading, “The Miller’s Tale” and “The Knight’s Tale” appear inconsistent and incomparable. Nevertheless, a closer reading of the two stories shows that the both stories are similar. The elements in the “The Miller’s Tale” reflects those in “The Knight’s Tale”. Arguably, the characters’ identities are different, yet the romance in both tales remains the same to an extent. In essence, the characters are basically the same in the two ...

In his essay “The Evolution of the Language of Cinema", Andre Bazin distinguishes between "those directors who put their faith in the image and those who put their faith in reality" (Bazin 43). Here, he essentially refers to the difference that often occurs between the presentational and the representational in film – as film continues to skew towards the realistic, these works tend to emphasize verisimilitude over abstraction. Films today often feel the need to create a sense of immersion within their worlds, wherein an audience member could reasonably believe that they are watching real life unfold before their eyes. This ...

The anonymously written tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight revolves around the emergence a Green Knight in Camelot, under the guidance of a female sorcerer’s power, to test the Knights of the Round Table. Now, rather than concentrating on Sir. Gawain or the Knights for that matter, Lawrence Besserman’s work focuses on The Idea of the Green Knight, who apparently, possesses “paradoxical qualities” (220). According to the author, the knight’s green color serves two purposes as it depicts the traits of a “green man” and a “wild man” with each portrayal bringing forth a ...

There are many elements of romance in Gaiman’s short story ‘Chivalry’. The author uses most of the basic techniques of creating a romantic situation, for example there is Sir Galaad’s quest to find the Holy Grail, and then there is the presence of Sir Galaad himself which means that being a knight his character is one that is generally associated with romance and also there is the presence of magic in the gifts which the young knight bears Mrs. Whitaker and the magic lamp of Aladdin which the old lady spots in the thrift shop in the ending scene. ...

Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes is an outstanding and unsurpassed in its mastery of mocking piece of literature that entertains the reader with its dynamic plot and nicely fitted characters. Although the novel appears to have no particular sense at first glance, it in fact aims at digging deeper to find the true meaning and correlate it with the overall sense of the book. What seems to be the story of a weird yet incredibly interesting in terms of observing character is actually the record of death of knighthood and, considering the bigger picture, description of changing social ...

Classic English Literature

The character of the Knight in the Canterbury Tales is clearly the ideal and perfect knight with the best description. At the beginning of the story, the Knight had just arrived from his expeditions. The Knight was described as a man who had a beautiful horse and dressed in a tunic that bears bloodstains from his last battle. At that time, the horses were only being used to transport the Knight in the battlefield rather than being use for fighting (Hodgson 77). The Knight is bestowed with chivalry qualities and idealism. Based on the Prologue of the Canterbury Tales which states that “ ...

Discussion and Journal Questions

Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Wife of Bath’s tale and her prologue are deemed by many to be some of the best parts of The Canterbury Tales. The story vividly describes the role of a woman in the Middle Ages through the character of Alison. However, her position does not seem to be very typical for that period of time, as she believed her experience in marriage matters could dominate the male authority. This idea is constantly expressed with the help of the notion of woman’s “sovereignty” over her husband.
In The Wife of Bath’s tale, the ...

If you think that the use of sex to charge up storytelling is a modern conceit, then it is time to take another look at the medieval saga Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Lady Bertilak launches a seduction game that is every bit as convoluted and tense as anything that one might find on an episode of Billions or even a reality program such as The Bachelor. It is true that, unlike in a more modern program, the actual sex between Gawain and Lady Bertilak never takes place, but the placebo for Gawain is a magic girdle that ...

Even though her works were exemplary, she was little known to the world; after all, Marie de France was not her original name. All her fame came from her distinct poetic works. Information about her birth place remain scanty, however, there is a strong belief that she was French born but raised up in England; all this is disputed for one reason or another (Bloch 160). It is believed that Marie lived in the 12th century. Putting her debatable biographic information aside, her poetic works remain iconic; in fact, they are an everyday inspiration for upcoming poets.

__ July 2013

Since time immemorial, the issue of gender has been subject to much debate. Literature captures gender perceptions of people in the past and the widespread sentiments of gender roles and equality back then. More often than not, women and men were boxed into the same set of roles in many classical literary pieces. Women were always portrayed as frail, gentle, submissive and passive. They obeyed their husbands and fathers without question. Men in classic literature always took on roles that characterized them as brave, strong, aggressive and initiator. Decision-making was their turf and they occupied positions of ...

Yvain, the Knight of the Lion by Chretien de Troyes is a romantic story about a knight-errant (Yvain) who is tasked to go on a series of adventures in order to regain the love of his woman.

Introduction

Over time, the growth of a city of a locality leads to the increase in the demand for electricity. The growth in population and the commercial activity puts pressure on the national grid. Without commensurate investments in the generation of power, the increase in demand results in shortages. To supplement the shortage of electricity in the region, more power can be brought in from the generation sources. However, this is complicated if the power generation plants are located far away. This is because more high voltage overhead transmission lines would be required. The Ministry for the Environment (2010) finds ...

In loved

A lot of people have shared their views as to what love really is and devoted their whole lives to sharing love or, at least, searching for true love. Each of us has our own understanding of what love is, and most of the time we base on our definitions from feelings and experiences. “There is no rose without a thorn.” Everyone who falls in love knows that is true. Love can make you happy and often it hurts, love is only special when you give it to someone who really worth it. Equally, in poetry, “love” is an ...

Abstract

In the case of United States v. Knight, the Supreme Court had to resolve the constitutional question of whether a warrantless search, executed on the basis of a reasonable suspicion and stipulated as a condition of probation violated the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures. In order to answer this question, the Court had to determine whether, for purposes of the Fourth Amendment, the constitutionality of searches authorized as a condition of probation must have a “probationary purpose.” Ultimately, the Court held that a warrantless search, sustained on the basis of reasonable suspicion and authorized as ...

There were a lot of knights recorded in King Arthur’s time. Most of them are renowned because of their greatness like Sir Launcelot du Lake, Sir Tristram de Liones, Sir Lamorak de Galis, and many more. Because of the numbers of the knights at that time many knights will forget the faces and will just rely on their titles. With all the titles they have, no one will forget the kindness of Sir Lamorak.

His firmness in the Isle of Servage gave great hope unto the people of the isle against their lord, Sir Nabon le Noire. He ...

Since ancient times, heroic motives have been often depicted and represented in poems. It is a never-ending topic that brings up eternal questions of loyalty, dedication and moral. It is interesting how we find the reflection of love in most of the heroic poems. It may be the love to the land or country, maybe the love to the woman, as well.
In both, “The Knight’s Tale” and The Iliad we find heroic ideas that certainly have something in common. Speaking of the first story it is important to say, that Theseus is the first hero shown, demonstrating ...

Frank Miller’s seminal graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns presents a relatively innovative and unprecedented interpretation of Bob Kane’s Caped Crusader, Batman. Instead of the heroic, principled crime fighter in his prime found in most DC comic versions of the character, Miller’s Batman is a terrifying, fearful middle-aged man dealing with both his own obsolescence and the conservative anxieties he has about the implications of Superman’s powers and abilities. On top of that, Batman has a much more absolutist, black-and-white version of justice, in which Batman’s inherent vigilantism is taken to its furthest conclusion. ...

The locomotive business has a vital part in the expansion of global economy. Locomotive industries improve markets, manufactures, designs and sell motorized automobiles. In the world it is among the most significant financial segments by profits. The locomotive business is the second most reliable production with 69% of the technology that is leading with 81% (Cavusgil, Knight & Riesenberger 2007).

“One problem with international business is that it often ignores human rights and basic labor standards” (Cavusgil, Knight, & Riesenberger, 2012, p. 53). Low-pay plants overseas generate inferior operational circumstances. The actions of international businesses not just ensue in job deficits here at home, nonetheless too in low salaries and abused employees throughout the world. Just consider of the factories in Asia that create imported fashion. Think of the auto workers in Mexico who reside in horrifying circumstances and make just a small number of dollars a day. Also, take into consideration the hardship triggered international through the current worldwide ...

Within the United States, there are many pockets of rural and urban environments.

While these arguments have been strongly rooted in anecdotal evidence and personal opinion, in recent years researchers have started to study the effects of urban versus ...

What was model knightly behavior in the 12th and 13th centuries?

Using Chretien as an example, knights were held very highly and they were expected to solve dilemmas, which ranged in nature from psychological to ethical dilemmas.

Discuss the therapeutic effects of Ultrasound in the treatment of a tennis elbow soft tissue injury

Introduction
The ultrasound is used as a treatment for soft tissue injuries using sound waves that are beyond the range of normal hearing. An ultrasound consists of inaudible high frequency mechanical vibrations (Gibbs, Cole and Sassano, 2009) which are created upon the conversion of electrical energy into acoustic energy through mechanical deformation of the piezoelectric crystal which lies within the transducer (Rheumatology, 2011). Therapeutic ultrasound uses a frequency between 0.75 and 3 MHz (Knight, Knight and Draper, 2013) for heating deeper and superficial tissues. Low frequency ultrasound at 1 Mhz is absorbed by tissues up to 3 to 5 cm ...

There were many reasons as to why the American Federation of Labor prevailed against the knights of labor. The AFL became more influential than the knights of labor because they were able to form strikes and other local councils that will cater for the needs of the workers. The reigning labor organization in America was the knight of labor especially in the 1880s.
It was started in 1869, and at first, it was supposed to be a ritualistic organization but due to the fame, it gained fame thus the members expanded especially in the 1880s. They helped to support ...
