Chivalry: The Ideal Knight
Chivalry
Chivalry is something many people dream of, including myself. Everybody wants to seen in a positive way. According to the dictionary chivalry is the sum of the ideal qualifications of a knight, including courtesy, generosity, valor, and dexterity in arms. Back when knights were see as the face of castles and the visual acceptance of man kind, chivalry was what those knights had. To me, its more than just courtesy, generosity, valor and dexterity. These are qualities that really define chivalry but to me, I think one thing their really missing is bavery. Eerybody has this quality inside of them. It just takes a certain event or act to bring it out. Everyone has their own “coming out party”. In today in age having these knight features
not only will have people looking at you in a good and positive way, but personally it would bring your own personal feelings up in a good way. For example, to me in the novel beowulf he was seen as a great warrior that in a way, everybody wanted to be like him. The looked up to him, and even though he had enemies. I am very positive that they respected him to the fullest. They never doubted what he was made of. That is just like how society is today, everybody wants to be respected and wanted to be looked up to, and in order for that I think chivalry is something one must have. Now everybody may see chivalry in a different way, because chivalry is and can be characteristics that they believe in.
