Medieval characters discoveredThe three most interesting charactersIn any great book, film, play or even poem, the characters are always what makes it so good. Some of these works really describe each character. Or sometimes only the main characters are described in detail. No matter what, we humans always fall in love with one of the characters. The things they do or even the way they look can make this attraction more intense. Just like the argument over who is Team Edward and who is Team Jacob from the Twilight series. The description of the characters goes back a very long time, to the Romans, to the time of Beowulf and even to the time of the very famous author Geoffrey Chaucer. The more the characters are described, the more we learn about their social level, their attitude, their profession and even more deeply about their lives. This is what makes us appreciate the work even more. It's very interesting that this idea of ​​describing characters has followed us into the 21st century. For example, from The Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer's prologue, Chaucer goes into greater depth to describe each character. While there are many diverse characters mentioned in the general prologue, my three favorites are the Knight, the Monk, and the Doctor. To begin with, the Knight is my favorite character because his description really gave me an idea of ​​what I believed in medieval times. be completely. The description of the knight is my favorite, because he is such a valiant fighter and hero in his time. This is very different from the times we live in now. On page 98 of From the Canterbury Tales, The Prologue by Geoffrey Chaucer, Chaucer says the following...... middle of paper ...... intelligence is just crazy, especially the part in which Chaucer states that he knew medicine and surgery. He also understood astronomy. Later in the description, Chaucer explains that in a way the Doctor could be greedy and did indeed like the idea of ​​having money. This is still a very important thing in today's lifestyle, it all starts with money. In conclusion, characters will continue to be very important in all works, as they always have been in the past. Of those who gave birth to poetry, writing and character development.
