The Squire

Squire, introduced in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, is a young man, a disciple of his father, to become a knight. He has great talent, but the question is whether his talents lie in the fight, music, and art.

"Squire from Canterbury Chaucer Stories" is a young man with many talents. He follows in the footsteps of his father and serves as a student to become a knight. This is a big responsibility. Maybe that's not the way he really wants to follow. The more Squires character manifests, the more likely his talents are elsewhere than on the battlefield. But first, let's see if he is an impressive figure.

He stands above the average size and seems to be "athletic and strong." These descriptions show that he is able to serve as a knight and perform his duties well. In addition, Squire is a young man of no special age, except for about twenty years. He has curly hair and is "fresher than a month in May." He is in the prime of youth and on the verge of becoming human. He seems ready to follow in his father's footsteps and become a knight.

Squire was on the battlefield in short skirmishes while driving, but nothing is mentioned about his abilities on the battlefield, or whether he demonstrated competence with a particular weapon. Squire uses a carved knife to serve his father during meals. To do justice to the squire, there is more to the equestrian order than leaving a mark on the battlefield.

When it's his turn to tell his story, Squire is interrupted by Franklin, the "gentleman of the village." He mentions that Squire is a wonderful young man, thanks to him for his wit and says he can become a role model for his own son. Therefore, there is no reason to doubt that the squire will not serve well or fulfill his duties as a knight. The question of whether this is best for him is raised when his other talents are mentioned.
