Detailed explanation-1: -Palamoun. Arcite. Emily. Theseus. Hippolyta. Perotheus. 21-Oct-2021
Detailed explanation-2: -Plot. At a jousting tournament in 14th century Europe, squires William Thatcher, Roland, and Wat discover that their master, Sir Ector, has died.
Detailed explanation-3: -Palamon is a Theban soldier, nobleman, and Arcite’s cousin and close friend. He complements Arcite’s cleverness and warrior ethos with his more emotional, intense personality. For example, Palamon’s love for Emilia immediately becomes irrational, obsessive, and all-consuming.
Detailed explanation-4: -Palamon is gloomier than his cousin, and has more of a temper. He sings to himself when alone in prison, and is very kind to his Jailer’s Daughter, who tends to him – even kissing her once. When she offers to free him, he is concerned for her and her father, and does not respond to her declaration of love.
Detailed explanation-5: -In the tale the cousins Palamon and Arcite both fall in love with Emelye, sister of Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons, who is married to their captor Theseus.
