Dealing With Dragon By Patricia Wrede

In the fantasy fiction novel, Dealing with Dragons by Patricia Wrede, it justified that a prince/knight named Therandil is not accordance with chivalrous actions because he does not execute the code of chivalry. Even though Therandil made honorable deeds, it is not compared what vile choices he had done. He is visualized as a noble knight, but he only cared about pride and fame, he is reckless and impetuous, and he is impolite and thoughtless.

First, Therandil is not heeding to the code of chivalry because he only cared about pride and fame. When Cimorene volunteered to be a dragon's princess, knights and princes are trying to extricate Cimorene, but Cimorene just told them to leave and when Therandil came he did not want to help Cimorene.

While Cimorene is hanging a sign, Woraug appeared and accuse her of escaping but Therandil came and a tragic act had occured.

Additionally, Therandil would not stop to free Cimorene, but he would not listen so when Therandil would endeavor to

However, this is not a correct position because when Therandil attempts to help her, he would always mess something up by being reckless and impetuous. Moreover, people should consider that every time he is with Cimorene, Therandil would be impolite and thoughtless. Furthermore, Therandil would mostly care about pride and fame more than Cimorene. To conclude, while Therandil is evoke to be accordance with chivalrous actions and following the code of chivalry, that is false because he only cared about pride and fame, he is reckless and impetuous, and he is impolite and
