Honor is a concept that has a great deal to do with entitlement and based on the actions or qualities of a person. There are three main types of honor that society recognizes; family, men, and women and in The Heptameron, Marguerite de Navarre portrays each of the three types of honor throughout her stories. Published in the 1500s, the series of short stories portrays the values and beliefs of that period of time. However, there are often a number of complications that follow honor that lie with classified and understandably honorable deeds or traits, and who is it that determines this. Another issue that one may find is that it is also complicated to be able to view one form of morality in the presence of another due to certain views clashing with one another. In addition to this, Marguerite de Navarre’s stories are written around the themes of love, lust, and adultery, in addition to honor. Each of these has a significant role in portraying the integrity of men, women and family. The Heptameron’s twelfth story has each of the three types of honor present throughout it, and show how they either compliment or conflict with one another. Through the character of the Duke of Medici, the Duke’s “other half”, and the sister of this man, the reader is able to recognize the instances in which honor is evident.

The value of nobility in the middle ages can hardly be questioned. The majority of nobles lived a life of luxury, having riches beyond the wildest dreams of commoners. When one thinks of medieval knights, nobility is often comes to mind, but did knights have to be members of the noble class? Sir Thomas Malory’s “The Tale of Sir Gareth” examines this question and presents an interesting view as to the true value of a knight. Malory uses the actions of important characters to reveal his opinion that the nobility of a knight was secondary to his integrity, courage, and benevolence.

Sor Juana Inés De La Cruz was an extremely radical activist for her time. She was known as the “Tenth Muse”, the “Phoenix of Mexico” (Harss pg.6) in many western parts of the world. As a child she grew up with very limited formal education and envied men who were privileged enough to receive primary education, and access to higher education. Sor Juana was a constant defendant of the rights of women, often coming off as inappropriate in her occupation as a nun, and women in the Spanish Empire, making her a threat to the man who was trying to gain power at the time (I deliberately left out his name due to the fact that I felt it would distract from the main person in this- Sor Juana.) Sor Juana was a diverse writer who often switched styles and genres of writing. However, she is well known for her poems that could, “inspire such tenebrous thoughts in the mind of the 20th-century reader.” (Harss pg.3). The scandalousness of her writings are said to be proof of her insanity, and results from the torturous tasks she would inflict upon herself, which were also encouraged by her confessor at the time in an attempt to, “moderate her zeal” (Harss pg.7).

From the age of eighteen, after the death of his father, he had to support his mother and three sisters and managed to do so very successfully.

Geoffrey Chaucer’s romantic poem “The Knight’s Tale” chronicles the adventures of two ancient Greek knights and their quest to win the affection of Emily, a beautiful noblewoman. Bound to uphold the chivalric code of loyalty and honor of the time, Palamon and Arcite discover themselves at odds with their noble ideals as they battle one another in pursuit of love. Unable to reconcile the knight’s oath of honor with their obsessive and selfish desires, the actions of Chaucer’s main characters fail to uphold the basic principles of chivalry.
