This paper provides a character analysis of the Squire from Geoffrey Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" who is the son of the Knight
and who is is described as a fashionable young man and who is rather spoiled, far from being the knight he is to become. It analyzes how the Squire would be most impressed with Beowulf, for he encompasses all that a knight should be, a true hero since like the Squire's father and the mythical knight of his tale, Beowulf embarks on journeys of epic proportion, slaying
monsters and
dragons. It evaluates how the Squire would see Beowulf as a mentor, as the epitome of noble accomplishment.
