Chaucer also satirizes love by describing Palamon and Arcite falling madly in love with Emily at first glance. This illustrated to the audience that love is everlasting, just as your vows say til death do us part. The women were ecstatic to see their husbands mangled bodies which was very concerning and ironic. Furious, King Theseus conquers Thebes and gets the bodies back for the wives. The first example of satire is in the beginning of the tale when King Theseus stumbles across a couple of women crying because their husbands had been killed and their bodies wouldn’t be returned. In the Knight’s Tale, many of the satires revolve around nobility and courtly love. ![]() From the glorious battle to the three shrines built to how uncut and raw the emotions of each character is portrayed.
