In my opinion the Wife of Bath’s Tale, which was written by Geoffrey Chaucer, is a story with Chivalric Romance in it since it has most of the elements that a Chivalric Romance have. The Wife of Bath’s Story has two wise and just rulers, namely King Arthur and Queen Guinevere. King Arthur had accepted the pleas of the ladies and his wife, Queen Guinevere in the court to spare his life but had to answer a question. This shows the fairness and the sense of justice in the King and Queen. The second

During this time period, a “family” was defined by the whole household. However, Don Curzio is not seen as a family member, giving him a smaller role than the other characters. Da Ponte demonstrates this concept in his libretto by making Figaro

Don Quixote is the most unusual of all the epics that we have read thus far. The hero of the epic is Don Quixote but he is a man who is imitating the deeds of famous and heroic knights. While the other epics previously studied have heroes who are strong, physically fit men of noble birth, Don is a delusional 50 year old, low born noble from La Mancha, Spain. He read obsessively about chivalry and it is through his pursuit of reviving it that he attempts to protect damsels, widows and orphans. Unlike

Carmen’s music is not duplicated in Don Jose’s music or any other character in the opera. She is a separate way of life and this is how Bizet successfully stands her out from the rest. Even Sally Macarthur in her online journal writes, “Carmen’s music refuses to be contained. It is used to mercilessly manipulate Don José, who is obsessed with her.
