Ne deeth, allas! ne wol nat han my lyf;

Thus walke I, lyk a restelees caityf,

And on the ground, which is my modres gate,

I knokke with my staf, bothe erly and late,

And seye, “leve moder, leet me in!

Lo, how I vanish, flesh, and blood, and skin!

 

The lines above describe the the old man that the three delinquents encounter. He speaks of knowing death, but said that death would not take him because of how aged he had become. This leads me to suspect that this old man could possibly be death himself. The fact that he has been wondering for so long, with no end in sight makes it seem completely possible that he is. Plus he leads the three delinquents into the direction of the gold where all three of them find death. This shows that he could have possibly set up this trap for the three, then pointed them in the direction where they would meet their fates.

The knight is a character that follows a strict code of honour and chivalry. He is devoted to justice and does not stray from his straight path. He has fought in many wars, for instance he helped take over Alexandria. Despite his success he remains noble and humble. Truly exemplifies the 'perfect' knight. However because of this he is a very unrealistic character. He is not very believable because of his lack of flaws. Also he is not an interesting character to read about for the same reasons. He's bland and lacks any sort of realistic traits that any normal human would have. Making him a much harder character to read about.
