a knight called Palamon or Arcite. While Palamon is a knight, I find him unschooled and thick-skulled. Muscular and brawny he may be, but I prefer the gentler, tall men, like the tender knight Arcite. Even so, I must follow the will of my sister Hippolyta and her husband, the Duke Theseus. No matter my detest, I will try to remain civil, polite, and ladylike. Now, I shall start my tale.
