Writing Activity: Character Analysis
When the queen demands that the knight find out "What is the thing that women most desire?" he searches for a whole year to find an answer. Does the knight gain understanding of women over the course of the story, or is he still essentially the same as he was at the beginning. Respond to this question by writing a character analysis. Consider the following:
* the knight's initial crime
* his reaction to the old woman after she insists her marry her
* his response to the choice she offers him on their wedding night
Common Core W4
The responses are to be written independently. Incorporate direct quotations and specific details from the poem to support their view of whether the knight changes. Be prepared to share your essays with the class.
