He fought against the evil Grendel both with bravery and honor, as he announces: "I have heard too that this evil monster, Reckless indeed, scorns use of weapons; So, I too – that Hygelac my liege-lord May have joy in his heart – will forego The bearing of sword or of broad shield Rimmed with lime-wood" (Beowulf, lines 433-438).]]> 2022-12-05 20:01:52 UTC https://padlet.com/w1792088/dcgpb7vsycdmz4ld/wish/2409713378 The Middle Ages: The Lay of Sir Launfal w1792088 https://padlet.com/w1792088/dcgpb7vsycdmz4ld/wish/2413617641 Like Beowulf, this poem is an epic about a character who is chivalrous and brave named Launfal. Unlike most of the knights of the round table, Sir Launfal is not as wealthy as them, but they are jealous of his bravery and shun him out. Gawain, however, is more loyal, reminding the other knights that "we wronged our companion Launfal, who is so generous and courtly, and whose father is a rich king, when we didn't bring him with us" (Robinson, Bonnie J. and Laura Getty lines 229-233). ]]> 2022-12-08 00:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/w1792088/dcgpb7vsycdmz4ld/wish/2413617641 The Middle Ages: The Canterbury Tales - The Miller's Prologue w1792088 https://padlet.com/w1792088/dcgpb7vsycdmz4ld/wish/2413627177 This poem shows the weakest extent of heroism in contrast to the other tales mentioned in The Canterbury Tales. The tale focuses less on true chivalry and more on fake heroism since the following quote falsifies the attempted heroism that took place. One of the two characters, Nicholas, convinced and lies to the other character, John, that "now on Monday next, at quarter night, shall fall a rain, and that so wild and wood, mad that never half so great was Noe’s flood" (Chauncer, lines 408-410). The heroic actions taken to save their lover, Alison, from a flood were for nothing since the story about a flood was fake.

When she succeeded, she states that she will stand her ground and that "No foreign banished wight shall anchor in this port: Our realm brooks no seditious sects--let them elsewhere resort" (Robinson, Bonnie J. and Laura Getty lines 13-14).

Being a hero can cause these types of feelings, especially after she said, "I grieve and dare not show my discontent, I love and yet am forced to seem to hate" (Robinson, Bonnie J. and Laura Getty lines 1-2).

She expresses herself from the heart, saying that "What you bestow on me, I will not hoard it up, but receive it to bestow on you again" (Robinson, Bonnie J. and Laura Getty).

The link above explains how chivalry is a quality of heroism during the middle ages. Chivalry in Beowulf, The Lay of Sir Launfal, and The Canterbury Tales was what defined a hero during this time.
