wondered who would win a battle between the European Knights and Japanese Samurai? Or how different or similar they were, they were very similar in some ways and different in many more.

be examined is the character of the young Squire. Throughout the description of the Squire, Chaucer offers the reader multiple avenues or rather poses a question of interpretation in how to view the Squire.

In Chaucer 's depiction of the Squire, the word "meede"appears in the context of the line "Embroidered was he as it were a meede" (Chaucer 237). This word takes on a literal

The ideals of chivalry are inextricably linked with the medieval period, and even today it is an ideal we still pay lip service to. Many historians however have questioned whether the knights and nobility of the time actually took it any more seriously than we do. Johan Huizinga described it as “a cloak for a whole world of violence and self-interest” , an “illusion of society [that] clashed with the reality of things” , and in our rather cynical age, this is probably the predominant view of the
