Around the late 13th century, Geoffrey Chaucer was known as the "Father of English literature." His most famous work, The Canterbury Tales, is a collection of frame stories. A frame story is a set of stories within a story. In "The Prologue," Chaucer describes each of the twenty-nine pilgrims that are traveling to Canterbury. Of all the characters Chaucer speaks of, the Pardoner is the most corrupted of all. Chaucer's description of the Pardoner portrays him as unattractive at best. He…
of his story of Claire and courtship to Ada. When he found Claire, Monroe was on a “great Hanoverian gelding” with a canter that “was a thing of wonder” He rode this horse in order to meet Ada’s mother and then away when he found that she had been with someone else (Frazier 196). The horse was beautiful just as Monroe had found Claire. The horse had a smooth walk and was a great pleasure. The gelding was just like Claire. When he ran away from Claire he was on the gorgeous horse and basically…
Whether you own a horse or not, horse stables may one day be in your future. When you were a kid, you may have yearned for one of your own and been disappointed. As an adult, you might be in a position to realise that dream or at least live your dream through your own child. If you live in an area that has covenants and does not allow horses to be kept on your property, all is not lost. That is where a commercial stable fills the need. You will have many choices to make, however, each one…
as yellow as wax”, “thinly they fell, like rat-tails”, with a high voice, “the same small voice a goat has got”, and “his chin no beard had harbored” (695-709). This satire used to mock the Pardoner shows his lack of manhood. He even calls him a gelding, meaning a castrated horse. Saying his balls are nonexistent blatantly proves just how strongly the narrator feels about him. The Pardoner may seem good at preaching, but he tells the pilgrims that he just wants to cheat them out of their…
A curious case on which I had started unknown to the horrors of that damned tract named Andsebury. Such happenings from that cursed realm upon a single thought of recollection bears down a terrible tremble and pressing shock to the core of my being. If only I had known what a disastrous task I had set out to play a part. Those secrets dredged up from the very earth of reality, ghastly knowings of Anterbury’s truths, oh how they haunt my dreams. I cannot forget, no I must not for my task is not…
kind soul and she wasn’t afraid to speak her mind if she saw something happening that she thought was wrong. From photos and stories, I have found that she loved horses so much that she started to rescue them, like her own horse a large Hanoverian gelding by the name of Thunder-head. Nevertheless, even though she couldn’t afford to start her own rescue center, she still wanted to help horses. She even wrote down everything she did with the horses in a bunch of journals. In one journal, there…
In The Canterbury Tales, Chaucer brings characters with somewhat strange or distorted religious practices that go against the norm of Christianity at that time. He tries to show that religion is a motivator, a reassurance, and something to chase after. However, it is not the shaper of your life. It’s the goal, but not the reality. If someone acts in a non-religious way, it is not an obvious implication that they are completely non-religious or that they are horrible people for not practicing…
reinforced through the description of his having a high pitched ‘small voice a goat has got’ which is another physiognomic trait denoting effeminateness, and evoking the probability of homosexuality. Additionally, Chaucer as the narrator judges him to be ‘gelding, or a mare’, an allusion to the possibility the Pardoner may be a eunuchus ex nativitate (a natural eunuch due to congenital defect). Physiognomic interpretation also gives the reader to understand that his ‘bulging eye-balls, like a…
The design of my quilt square is organized yet creative and colorful. All in one 10”x10” square featuring my likes, achievements, creativity, hobbies, etc. My quilt square also has many textures and dimensions incorporated into to making it unique from everyone else's.
