did not, even though she was in the camp. The attitudes of the two
characters and the setting probably are what kept them alive.
In comparison of the way the setting affected character, we see
they were quite alike also. Prospero's morbid lifestyle was quite unusual.
His room of black with scarlet panes of glass, his ebony clock with a low

Canterbury Tales: The Knight
Number of words: 700 | Number of pages: 3.... humble man: indeed, Chaucer maintains
that he is meek "as a maiden". Moreover, Chaucer claims the Knight has never
said a rude remark to anyone in his entire life. Clearly, the Knight possesses
an outstanding character, and Chaucer gives to the Knight perhaps one of the
