Is Satire Early Sarcasm? (An analysis of Chaucer’s use of satire to reach his intended audience in the three texts Pardoner’s Prologue, Wife of Bath’s Prologue, and Wife of Bath’s Tale) “His mood and sense of humor, we may guess, is the reason behind the many different angles of his writing.

Her personal experience in the field of education has shown that “privatization inevitably means deregulation, greater segregation, and less equality” (361).
