So far I am really enjoying the story of the Knight’s
Tale. It really has a lot of action going on between the two cousins who are
fighting over this one girl. But now it comes down to the big battle to
determine who will have the hand of the princess Emelye. Let the battle begin!
The King Theseus has now set up a big stadium
for the big battle for Arcite and Palamon. Both cousins have now gathered their
teams and are ready for battle. But my favorite is when Emelye prayed to the
goddess Diana. Emelye really doesn’t want to be married to either one of the
two knights. Instead just wants peace between the two cousins. Emelye then
agrees that if she MUST marry she will marry the one that wants her the most. I
am just amazed at the fact that Emelye really didn’t really want either of
them. She’s just chilling and living life and not really caring about the
fight.
I love Greek Mythology!
I am obsessed with all the Greek Gods and Goddess. Now as the two cousins began
to prepare for the battle both of them prayed to a God to ask for help during the battle. As a result
of Arcite praying to Mars and Palamon
praying to Venus, the two planets have now waged war upon each other! What I am
trying to understand is why would the Gods and Goddess get physical and fight
in the battle? Yes they can help the cousins , but you’re a God! You should have better things
to do.
Although each cousin
fought well and hard it was claimed that Arcite was the winner. Until an
unfortunate event of an earthquake sent
by Pluto comes and injures him severely and he dies. That sucks! I actually
felt really bad for him though because he tried but I guess fate was against
him. But just before he died he told Emelye that Palamon was a better man for
her anyways. So it did end on a happy note and I am glad for Palamon actually.
Even though he was the cousin that wanted her but never really took a lot of
action in getting her. Everything turned out for the better in the end even if
Arcite had a unexpected random death.
