In the early days, the role of woman has been confined by a man because their jobs are to get marry, have children, and most depend on their husbands. The men in the early society had bigger roles than women. Therefore, women has to base themselves on and listen to their men. However, in the story “Once Aboard The Lugger,” author Thomeas Qiller- couch presents an intense image of a woman who makes change in woman’s role in the early society. Nance Trewartha, a daughter of a fisherman in Ruan, wants to marry a minister Samuel from Troy. She has fond on him and starts to wonder how would be like if Samuel is her husband.

The author allows Perceval to join company with Galahad only after learning the importance of virginity, asceticism, and faith in God and proving himself against a demonic serpent and the devil disguised as an attractive female temptress; since Perceval always requires the help of wise hermits to determine the significance of his adventures and visions, the author uses Perceval to introduce readers to the basic lessons of spiritual chivalry. Before Perceval learns these lessons, he is unable even to recognize Galahad, and he and Lancelot impulsively attack the Good Knight; however, Galahad easily defeats Lancelot and "drew his sword and smote Perceval so hard that he cut through the helm and mail coif" (80). Perceval soon encounters his insightful aunt, who explains to her bewildered nephew that he "could never withstand" (101) a battle with such a spiritually chivalrous knight as Galahad. She teaches Perceval that leading a spiritual life is a personal journey that requires complete devotion, even forsaking his own family, just as he did when he became a knight of the Round Table. Before bidding her nephew farewell, Perceval's aunt reminds him of the importance of his virginity by telling him, "this was most essential for your good…Therefore I implore you to keep your body as undefiled as the day Our Lord made you a knight, so that you may come pure and unsullied before the

A deacon in a white tunic leads her to an amphitheater that is full of people, all the while she is preparing to see the beasts. However she does not, she is stripped of her clothing and becomes a man. She then is rubbed with oil and fights an Egyptian man, with the winner receiving a coveted branch. She wins the fight, steps on her competitors face and awakes to the realization her battle “was not with the wild animals…but with the devil” (The Passion of Perpetua and Felicitas, 10). This vision is completely about Perpetua, she is on her own; her concern is no longer about her family, but with the devil. It also represents the culminating change of ‘becoming a man’. She is literally stripped of her femininity. This sexual transformation is conducive the notion that to reach salvation a woman must become a man (Barkman, 2014, Lecture 20). Perpetua is now ready to be a martyr and her transformation is

As Perceval rides towards the court of King Arthur, he meets the Red Knight at the gate of the castle. When Perceval sees the Red Knights armor, he decides that he will have it for himself. Perceval rides up to the Red Knight and tells him, “By my faith, I’ll ask the king to give me [your] armor.” The Red Knight does not see this as a threat from the Welsh boy. He tells Perceval to go to King Arthur and tell the king to send a champion to fight him if the king wants his cup back. Perceval

The king was very found of money and when he hear that someone could spin straw into gold he order the person to be brought to him and he had 12 daughters that would seek a way to a dance every night.

A noble maiden sits atop of the mountains, a difficult place to reach. Sitting high on her throne at the curve of the earth, we, the ones whom she overlooks, bow to her. She graces us with her natural and pure beauty; it is impossible to equate to her. Her light yellow eyes captivate us, her woolen regalia complement them well. She is loyal to use, she gives us freedom, her name is

Chretien's romantic hero strongly admires the knightly tradition, though stumbles through the stages of his chivalric evolution. The Story of the Grail continues in The Romance of Arthur: An Anthology of Medieval Texts in Translation, as Perceval arrives at the blighted residence of the Fisher King, who invites Perceval to stay at his castle. There he witnesses a miracle, a strange procession of objects being carried from one chamber to another. First, a youthful man carrying a bleeding lance, followed by two handsome boys carrying a candelabra and finally a beautiful woman carrying elaborately decorated grail. The grail is detailed as giving off “such an intense light, that candles lost their brilliance” and was “fashioned of fine gold and all kinds of precious stones, among the richest and most prized to be found on land or sea”. This magical grail proves captivating to Perceval; however he fails to inquire of its function for he remembers the lesson taught to him by the wise old man who made him a knight. He instructed Perceval to refrain from being uncouth by talking too much. The golden grail floats past Perceval between courses of

As host on the trail to Canterbury I have the honor of judging all the stories told by my companions. The tales ranged from love to death to despair, but only one can win. The Knight is a valiant, young soul who never ceases to impress on and off the battlefield. His tale also impresses its audience. The knight is the winner because his tale is filled with love, pain, adventure.

He began to continue the search for the truth which eventually lead him to his doom. A person he calls mother and wife did suicide and he stabbed his eyes so that he would not know the truth. The story ends sorrowfully without anything splendid. On the other hand, In The Wife of Bath, the knight started off doing something sinful; he rapes a virgin. Throughout the story, he went through a journey that made him realize his mistakes and learned from it. He then encountered an elderly lady that wanted to marry him. At first he did not want to marry someone that he refers to “aged and ugly”. She then challenged him with a question if he wants to marry a young, beautiful lady that is not faithful or an aged, ugly women that will be faithful. He surrenders in defeat and said whatever pleased her is what he wants. The knight learned to respect a woman's choice because he did not respect women in the beginning of the story. After he learned his lesson, he got what he wanted; to marry a beautiful girl and she saved him from his sins. The ending and beginning of tragedy is completely opposite from how the story starts and end.

At his first encounter with a maiden, he greets her and seeks to please her, albeit clumsily. When the maiden at King Arthur’s court is struck by Kay, Perceval pledges that “she will be well avenged” before he dies (Lawall 1340). When the maiden Belrepeire comes to him at night, pleading for protection, Perceval comforts her and promises to “restore peace to all [her] land” (Lawall 1348). Perceval sees the maiden’s request as “an opportunity for [him] to win fame” (Lawall 1347). His love for inspires her to do bold, daring deeds. He therefore boldly defends the castle against the besiegers, winning the love and heart of the maiden. Perceval is kind to every maiden he meets. When he encounters a maiden weeping over a dead knight, he inquires after the matter. When he meets the maiden whose lover has forced her into penance, he seeks to comfort her.

Thinking they were devils, Perceval sought out the knights to strike them with a well-aimed javelin, yet as he catches sight of them, he has a revelation that they are not traveling devils but rather angels he is so lucky just to witness. “Lord God, I give You thanks! These are angels I see before me.” (382) shows a childish innocence that Perceval has to his surroundings, and this innocence makes the end result only seem more deserved as he becomes a knight he had once admired as a child. Instead of being born into a long line of knights, Perceval made a name for himself through his valor, combat skills, and determination. He may seem to be just another knight at heart, but values from his childhood that he learned from his mother constantly resurface in the story, and they could be interpreted as nostalgia of a simpler life before his becoming a knight: “Sir, my mother taught me never to go with any man or keep his company for long without asking his name. So if her advice was proper, I want to know your name.” (400) Through these anecdotes and lessons he has brought with him, Perceval becomes a more relatable character as he carries his childhood on his shoulders as he begins his journey as a knight. Despite being messed around with by

In some instances, Cinderella’s behaviour in Perrault’s tale display characteristics that are alike to a modern western woman, today. On the first night of the Ball, the fairy godmother struggles to find something turn into a coachman. Then Cinderella suggests to transform the “...rate in the rat trap...into a coachman” (Perrault). This act reveals that Cinderella is capable of solving problems individually (Robbins, 107); a quality of a modern western woman. In addition, Cinderella demonstrates intelligence when the step sisters talk to Cinderella after returning from the first night of the Ball (Robbins, 107). Cinderella pretends to be sleepy by “...rubbing her eyes and stretching...” (Perrault) when the step sisters visit Cinderella’s room, after returning from the first night of the ball. By pretending to be sleepy, the step sisters assume that Cinderella did not attend the Ball. The step sisters tell Cinderella that a “finest princess” (Perrault) came to the Ball, however, when Cinderella inquires about the unknown princess name, the step sisters state that they did not know. Also, the step sisters tell Cinderella that the prince “would give all the world to know who...” (Perrault) is the unknown princess. This way Cinderella slyly and confidently interrogates the step
