The dialogue between the characters in this medieval tale is chivalrous. Verbal insults in medieval times could quickly provoke life-threatening situations and thus were as inadvisable as insulting a trigger-happy gunslinger in the old American West. Therefore most of the characters in The Trumpeter of Krakow are gracious to a fault. Additionally, the formal method of address is required when speaking to a nobleman due to the strict class distinctions in medieval Polish society. Pan Andrew insists on being addressed as a "Pan," which is the Polish term for Mister or Sir.
