Throughout the epic poem, Orlando's Song, the poet essentially analyzes the idea of ​​good versus evil as it is portrayed in contrast between the two opposing armies . The French Christian army led by Charlemagne is good and, on the contrary, the Muslim Sacarens led by Marsile and Baligant represent evil. As the battle between good and evil and between Christians and Muslims continues throughout the text, the poet also illustrates the characteristics of true and false virtues that make or break a knight or lord. An ideal knight or lord embodies all the chivalrous qualities: altruism, generosity and respect. Such qualities are important to raise the morale of the respected army and country. However, when knights or lords do not meet standards and a disregard for important gentlemanly and chivalrous qualities is present, personal downfall is inevitable. According to the poet, an ideal lord is defined as totally selfless and loyal to one another. For example, when the Franks realize that they are outnumbered by the Pagans and realize that their chances of victory are slim, the poet states: “The Franks see that there are many pagans/On every side the fields they are covered in it. / Time and again they call upon Oliver and Roland/And the twelve peers to act as their protectors” (Roland, 77 ll 1510-1513). The battle between pagans and Christians is notable for the character of Oliver and Roland because, even though they are vulnerable to injury, they are willing to sacrifice themselves for their fellow knights. Furthermore, Charlemagne also shows his selflessness to his lords when he prays for revenge on Roland's behalf. Stating: "May your love be with me today/ In your mercy, if it pleases you, let me/ T...... in the center of the card ...... is the skull and its bones/ . . 'Miserable heathen, how dare you/Seize me, without thinking of right and wrong' (Roland 102 ll 2289-2294). Roland remains faithful and honest to his king and his country. Although the Christian Franks were defeated by the pagans, their morale and camaraderie were impenetrable throughout the Song of Orlando lord. In this symbolic battle of Christianity against paganism, many lords and knights are recognized for their exceptional honor and dedication to their king and their country. Although several knights were ignorant of such laudable qualities, yet these ideals that promote behavior chivalrously increase personal and community morale despite the defeat against the pagan army..
