Book review 2-3


I read this book, “The Canterbury Tales” and it was written by Geoffrey Chaucer who was one of famous writers in 14C.
This story was based on a travel of people for Canterbury. People talked a story which they knew by way of killing time. It was “The Canterbury Tales”. There were various stories.
In this time I want to write about ‘the story of the knights’. One day, Arcite and Palamon are imprisoned by Theseus. Then they see a beautiful lady, Emily who is the sister of Hippolyta, and they fall in love with her. As the time passes, Arcite is allowed to go outside the prison, but if it comes true, Arcite can not see Emily any longer and Palamon is by her. Arcite thinks it is an unfortunate thing and Palamon thinks it is a happy thing.
The scene is my favorite one. The change of their feelings by the existence of Emily is funny and interesting. What is worse, the friendship between them gets worse and worse. Finally, they put a period to their love for her to fight each other. As a result, Arcite is dead and Palamon gets married with her. The love’s power sometimes makes a fellowship worse, confuses it, and puzzles a person. Of course the power itself is also good, but it is true that ‘Love is blind’.
There are many other stories in this book, so please read it or them if you can.
