A Knights Tale

"In the game and in the love everything is accepted" This is what my grandmother tells me often when we play cards and she makes a move that makes her win. In love, romance anything is worthid. People take risks to  be with the one they love; they even break the rules and get to the limit for love.

Geoffrey Chaucer an english writter/poet wrote A Knights Tale; which is a  prose of mithological characters. Palamon and Arcite were cousins who falled in love with the same women. They started up in the prison of their enemy and ended up as enemies. They were forced to fight to obtain the love of a women called Emeley. Eventhough they were cousins they pray and fought until the end that Arcite is killed by a night, and tells Emeley that Palamon should be the man that she should be with “...trouthe, honour, knyghthede, / Wysdom, humblesse...” are the words that Arcite  describes Palamon and it made me realize that at the end the two cousins had love for each other eventhoug they loved the same person.
