Compare the knight and the Squire as members of Chaucer’s society. What is Chaucer’s opinion of them? How are they held in Society?
Chaucer shows the Knight and the Squire in different ways, but he shows us that they are both at an equal level in society.
The Squire is an educated man who is a loyal servant of the Knight; the Squire also is a skilled fighter and travels everywhere with the Knight. The squire is a kind, happy man, but also tough and strong. The Squire is training to follow in his fathers, The Knight, footsteps. He is a fine and fashionable young man, and he is madly in love.
