One of Chaucer's descriptions that best illustrates Fortune as whimsical is the character of the Knight in "The Canterbury Tales." Despite his noble qualities and successes, the Knight is ultimately subject to Fortune's capricious nature as he is sent on various quests that test his virtues. This portrayal highlights how Fortune can change a person's circumstances without warning or reason.
