 The first pilgrim Chaucer describes in the General Prologue, and the teller of the first tale. The Knight represents the ideal of a medieval Christian man-at-arms. He has participated in no less than fifteen of the great crusades of his era. Brave, experienced, and prudent, the narrator greatly admires him.

Answer:

The knight is portrayed as an ideal and noble knight who lives by the code of chivalry. He’s distinguished but not boastful. He has fought in the Crusades and is well traveled. His admirable traits come across in the language Chaucer uses, as in this excerpt:

Though so illustrious, he was very wise

And bore himself as meekly as a maid.

He never yet had any vileness said,

In all his life, to whatsoever wight

He was a truly perfect, gentle Knight.(PLATO)

How does the poem's stylistic form (i.e. punctuation
Tom [10]

The form used by Emily Dickinson gives this poem a layer of sadness, ut also a distance from the feelings  of the poem.

Explanation:

The poem ''We grow accustomed to the dark” is written by Emily Dickinson whose unusual style innovative use of phrases and punctuation are very much a part of her poetic language as much as her own words.

This poem too is no different as the hyphens here do not really connect the lines together as much as create and uncomfortable distance.

The poem says that the people who are accustomed to dark have also found themselves so dejected they are now almost at a distance from their feelings.
