The Dawn Right Before the Dawn Rises is Always the Darkest… The Middle Ages was a time of crisis, in a way, probably why it was associated with the name “Dark Ages”. My english teacher once said, “The richer were getting richer and the poorer, even more poor.” The middle ages, albeit having a number of similarities at present time, I guess, in my opinion, we can say that we would much prefer the circumstances of today, seeing that back then the role of women were much more unfavorable. The…

Unintended Consequences of the Columbian Exchange was the diseases that the Europeans brought over to the new world. Such ass smallpox and measles. The Native American people have never been exposed to any such disease. The native American had no immunity whatsoever and absolutely no medicine to treat for smallpox or measles.

The Black Death “was probably the greatest public health disaster in recorded history.”(449) It spread across the Eurasian continent and in parts of Africa in the 1340’s, killing and estimated 70 million people and over 60% of the European population. It was used as the first ever form of biological warfare by the Mongols. Three Authors named Gabriele de’ Mussis, Giovanni Boccaccio, and Ahmad al-Maqrizi wrote about their first and second hand accounts of the decease; and how it affected people…

Geoffrey Chaucer, during his time and even today, is considered one of the greatest English poets of the Middle Ages. Through his diverse characters and confounding morals, he is able to capture and relate to a broad audience. One of his more memorable characters is The Pardoner. The Pardoner is an interesting character as he seems to meet the exact opposite of what is expected of him, purposely by Chaucer, to voice a statement. The Pardoner’s introduction and tale encompasses several themes,…

The Black Death – as it is commonly called – especially ravaged Europe, which was halfway through a century already marked by war, famine and scandal in the church, which had moved its headquarters from Rome to Avignon, France, to escape infighting among the cardinals. In the end, some 75 million people succumbed, it is estimated. It took several centuries for the world's population to recover from the devastation of the plague, but some social changes, borne by watching corpses pile up in the…

In the year 2125 all hope was lost. Hope was a faded memory left only in the minds of the senile and foolish. The conditions of Earth grew worse every day since, and it has been awhile since. The trouble in 2125 was the rebellions that spread like the plague, and the plague spread like the rebellions, so like the plague. The air was classified as a highly addictive inhalant drug, though it wasn’t addictive it was just unavoidable. The air conditions worsened and it became just a mist of death.…
