Scholastic Philosophies in Chaucer's Knight's Tale

Description: KnT is a scholastic romance whose primary subject is universal human nature conceived in varying combinations of will and intellect, and its overriding concern is human freedom. From its position as the first Canterbury tale, one might infer that human nature will be the concern of the links and tales that follow. Since Theseus becomes a better man figuring out the significance of events, one might infer that the significance of the tales will also depend on the mind of the reader.
