The squire is defined as a runner up Knight. He's young in his own square space, hoping to live up to meet his future maiden. Rise to arms is the motto he lives for, a code that he must follow. A son figure by heart and follows his father's footsteps. The squire is basically an adolescent who treads to find his place in the world while overseeing his rightful place in the social chain. Chaucer's choice in telling this tale involves a family, father and son. The squire is just a youngster that Chaucer enjoys to see because of the availability to be free with his own mindset while being taken into the hands of a guardian. Its not only for protection, but the benefits of being an upcoming knight and how one can learn about difficulties. Chaucer makes it clear that he is satirizing the society within this tale since a tale of a squire is a quest for progression. Its clear for future knights to become servants of their own cause and standardize their right to defend one's country.
