The knight's tale teaches us that it is stupid and worthless to find with one of your good friends or cousins over love. It can cause you to hate each other for life and you can ruin a friendship and get hurt. This is what I think, I am not sure. As you know, Arcite won, then lost, so it could also be that it is not over till its over. Chaucer is trying to teach us that the strongest knight or the strongest perswon in a battle or fight isn't always the one who wins. It is the one whose fate is destined to win, whichever god chooses, not whoever is stronger. This was shown by how Arcite was stronger and defeat Palamon for Emily, but Palamon ended up with Emily in the end because of his fate and he was destined to be with her.
