Knight's Tale Parts 3 & 4

After lengthy descriptions of the three temples, the battle results in Arcite's victory, which is consistent with what the God of War tells him the night before. Then Arcite is mortally wounded by an earthquake and Palamon and Emelye marry after his death, consistent with what Venus and Diane told each of them as well. What interested me most about part four was the advice Egeus gives Theseus, about the nature of the world and how every man will die. Because the gods controlled the outcomes for each character, it is described like fate, which is a reoccurring theme, so far. Egeus seems like the character that understands best how to grieve for Arcite because he has seen fortune change for the longest, given that he is Theseus's father and has lived for longer than Palamon and Emelye, who mourn for a long time after his death. The lesson Egeus tells is that fortune is ever changing and that each of us will die eventually; and I am not sure if that is the moral of the story, but I could make an argument for it based on how the promises of the Gods were not as the protagonists expected, or hoped.
