However‚ by applying the Code of Chivalry‚ the knights in the medieval time displayed certain character traits which would secure success and honor in both battle and morality.

Christopher Marlowe’s works both “Dido‚ Queen of Carthage” and “The Passionate Shepard to His Love” along with Walter Ralegh’s poem “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepard” display such extremes as previously mentioned. Making promises and then possibly breaking them‚ only adds to the effect that the piece has on the reader by making the piece more relatable to the reader
