The Ideals of Chivalry in Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur

This analytical essay uses Le Morte d'Arthur to reverse engineer the code of chivalry as Thomas Malory presents it. The student notes emphases on respect for women, courtesy for all, helping the weak, honor, and skill in battle. The student finds examples in Arthur, Pellinore, and Griflet and argues that Malory takes advantage of the romanticism of the story to create ideal characters.
