In the story we experience the several different types of medieval romance qualities. We are shown the quality that the protagonist is a king or knight by having Arthur as the protagonist. We are shown the quality of mystery and suspense when Arthur has a dream. He dreams that Sir Gawain is warning him not to fight the next day, because he will die. This makes Arthur worry and attempt to make piece with the armies. We are also shown the quality repetition of three and seven. Sir Bedivere tries to throw Arthur’s sword, Excalibur, into the lake three times before the Lady of the Lake finally takes the sword.
In The Knight’s Tale we learn about a young man who wants to become a knight. He does so by faking and competing in jousting tournaments. He honors the knight’s code and chivalry in the way that he lives most of the time. He respects other fellow knights and doesn’t back down from an equal challenge. He also respects the princess.
The movie Monty Python mocks most of the qualities of the knight’s code. Arthur lies to many people throughout the entire movie. He doesn’t treat the poor well either. He gathers all of his knights for the round table, which are also not followers of the knights code. They back down from challenges and disrespect other knights.
