according to the excerpt, why did the squire try to do well during battles

Sagot :

In Geoffrey Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales," the Squire is a gallant soldier motivated by another factor other than chivalry during battles. And this is B) to impress a woman.

  • Unlike his father, the Knight, the Squire will not defy a maiden in his passion. He believes that a woman's love is also a battle to win.

  • His training in both the art of chivalry and courtly love enables him to fight well during battles.  But the purpose is to win the favor of his lady.

  • The Squire is not fighting to save the army from annihilation or his country from subjugation. While he knows that his father will be impressed, he is not fighting to make him singularly proud.

Thus, his devotion to love is only parallel to his gallantry in battles.
