The Knight's Tale, Part 4

The last part of this tale has always been the most enjoyable part for me. The theme of chance throughout this story is what I find most interesting. By chance, Emily walks by the prison, where both Arcite and Palamon notice her. Also, the God of destiny decides how the story ends by altering the outcome of the fight. I think reason goes out the window when they are acting out of emotion, such as the strong affection both men feel towards a woman they don’t know. By the end of the tale, both knight’s get some semblance of what they asked for, which makes me feel better about someone else controlling their destinies.
