CANTERBURY TALES (II): What a Character

Direct Characterization:

"There was a knight, a most distinguished man.."
"To ride abroad had followed chivalry, truth, honor, generousness and courtesy."
Indirect Characterization:

In his sovereign's war and ridden into battle, no man more,..."
"Of honor, above all nations, when in Prussia."
The author uses direct characterization to describe the knight in detail at the start and then uses indirect characterization to back up his direct characterization.

Tone:

The narrator tone well describing the knight is seemingly admirable.
This can be seen when the narrator goes over the knight's love of his occupation and his appearance that presents humility rather then the vainglory of other knights.

Humor: 

The narrator mentions that the knight had fought in many battles but, still calls him a perfect, gentle knight

Collaboration: Jared Dube, Marcel Dube, Joey Buelow, Gianni Rasgado, and Jacob Sussex.
