- Description
- Reads the Knight's interruption of the Monk (7.2767ff.) as evidence of his "anxiety" about the view of Fortune implicit in the fall of princes tradition. The GP description of the Knight indicates his "preference for worldly wealth and fame that trigger his opposition" to MkT, and KnT similarly reflects attachment to worldly affluence which makes the narrator ripe for a fall in fortune.
