In general: keep track of the different characters' views
on different groups of people. So, different classes
(closer to the "top"- kings, etc) and genders (keep an eye
on how women are seen especially, since this will probably
vary per storyteller).

 -- Knight --

 "To riden out, he loved chivalry,/
  Truth and honour, freedom and courtesy."

 "And though that he was worthy he was wise,/
  And of his port as meek as is a maid."

 "He was a very perfect gentle knight."

 Traveled the world - he went to Alisandre, Prusse,
 Lettowe, Russe, (the siege of Grenade), Algesir,
 Belmarie, Leyes, and Satalie. He also took part in many
 battles - his first at the young age of 15!

 (Why was he part of the pilgrimage?)

 Views and topics in the story:

 - Two soldiers from an enemy army are taken in as prisoners
   by the king. The king grants a sort of mercy in doing so
   rather than killing them (though it could be argued that
   it would have been more merciful to kill the soldiers on
   the spot). (Why did the king do this? Re-read the section,
   keeping an eye out for any thoughts the king might have
   had in deciding to take them as prisoners instead of kill
   them.)

   The two soldiers are held prisoners spot out of their cell
   window a lady. They both immediately fall deeply in love,
   and argue over who should get her (perhaps disregarding the
   fact that they are both inevitably stuck in jail). (This is
   probably a sign of how women are seen; I don't think either
   soldier considers that Emily should, or even could, pick for
   herself who she wants to marry.)

   One of the enemy soldiers, now captives, is released at a
   request by a mutual friend of the prisoner and the king to
   the king. (Was it hard to convince the king? We're looking
   for how top-of-the-ranks royalty behave. What are their
   morals, their influences, etc.) The other soldier is left
   imprisoned, and eventually breaks out. (How did he break
   out? I don't remember that part of the story well. There
   was someone who helped him escape, and who that was might
   be relevant.)

   The soldier who was released chooses to totally change his
   identity. Previously a soldier of an army, he now calls
   himself a new name, Philostrate, and returns to the kingdom
   he was just held captive by, to be come a servant of the
   lady he and the other soldier fell in love with.
   (Does he figure that he can build up in rank to a point
   where he could marry the lady? I don't recall if this was
   touched on, but I have a feeling it was. Relevant in the
   theme of social ranks, of course.) (His dedication to the
   lady is also evident of how in-love he is. It is perhaps
   an example of how the Knight personally thinks men in love
   should behave. This should be compared and contrasted with
   the other soldier's behaviour, but I don't actually remember
   much about what Palamon did.)

   Eventually, Philostrate goes out to a remote field where he
   figures nobody can hear him, and spurts out the story of him
   previously being a soldier and now a servant. (Re-read this,
   for sure. I think it covered that soldier's thoughts on
   having previously been a soldier and now choosing to be an
   anonymous, separate-from-his-past servant. Good stuff on the
   theme of rankings, and maybe a little on his thoughts of how
   the king behaved?) However, the other soldier, who recently
   escaped prison and is now hiding in a nearby bush, hears him!
   After Philostrate finishes his speech, the other soldier jumps
   out of the bush and starts a long argument. (I remember this
   having to do with who will marry Emily.. again.) It eventually
   leads to the two fighting each other.

   Meanwhile, the king goes out on a hunting trip, accompanied
   by the lady the two soldiers had fallen in love with as well
   as several other women. (Why were the women and Emily with
   the king on this trip?) He stumbles across the two soldiers
   who are exchanging jabs and such at each other, and calls out
   to them to stop. (Or does he? Does Palamon notice, instead?
   I don't remember, and this is relevant to how the king
   behaves.) (In general, re-read this section. It will cover
   how the king behaves, how he feels about and acts towards the
   escaped/intruding soldiers, and so on. It also shows how the
   women (including Emily) who came with the king act, and how
   the king responds.)

   It is decided that a tournament between the two soldiers (as
   well as the armies they build up) will be held in 50 weeks.
   The tournament will be clean; while the soldiers and their
   armies will fight each other, they must not kill. (Is this
   relevant to how the king acts and feels about killing? Maybe,
   maybe not. It's certainly comparable to how he didn't kill
   the two enemy soldiers when he first saw them.) The winner
   of the tournament will be the one to marry the lady. (Yet
   another case where someone else is deciding who shall mary
   a lady, and not the lady herself. And this time, the lady
   is even being considered a prize! Furthermore, I vaguely
   recall Emily not even being a blood child of the king, so
   the king is giving away a lady who he is not related to.)

   Before the tournament, the lady the two soldiers fell in love
   with goes to a newly-built temple. She prays to the statue
   there that she would not have to marry either, or anyone;
   that she would be able to remain a maiden. The statue responds
   negatively, however, and indicates that she would inevitably
   have to marry either.
