ABSTRACT Skripsi ini berjudul KNIGHTS CHIVALRY IN THE KNIGHT S TALE OF GEOFFREY CHAUCER S THE CANTERBURY TALES membahas tentang kekesatriaan yang dtunjukkan oleh para ksatria yang terdapat didalam The Knight s Tale karya Geoffrey Chaucer, yaitu Theseus, Palamon, dan Arcita. Kekesatriaan dapat diidentifikasi melalui tindakan-tindakan dan ucapan-ucapan kebajikan yang dilakukan oleh para ksatria. Tindakan kebajikan tersebut dapat digolongkan menjadi empat jenis, yaitu ksatria harus berani, ksatria harus sigap dalam membantu orang lemah, ksatria harus beriman atau taat kepada agama, dan ksatria harus terhormat. Tindakan kebajikan tersebut sangat dipelihara dan dijunjung tinggi oleh para ksatria yang ada didalam The Knight s Tale. Tindakan-tindakan tersebut diuraikan secara jelas dan lengkap, sehingga kemudian dapat disimpulkan bagaimana etika dan penerapan tindakan tersebut oleh para ksatria, yang terdapat didalam The Knights s Tale.
