In canterbury tales, each pilgrim had their own tale to tell in the entirety of the book. however, we only looked at "the wife of bath" and "the pardoner's tale". looking specifically at the general prologue, how would you characterize one of the pilgrims listed (other than the wife of bath or pardoner)? how do you know? make sure you give evidence from their introduction in the prologue to support your reasoning. your response should be one short paragraph (4-6 sentences) in length
in sir gawain and the green knight, we read about one of king arthur's knights of the round table. based on what the text says about gawain, does his character change in the end, or not so much? if so, how? make sure you use evidence from the epic to support your stance. your response should be at least one paragraph (5-7 sentences) in length.
. based on what we know of the idea of the "hero" (or ideal person in society), how have these characteristics evolved to the middle-ages? your response should be at least two paragraphs (5-7 sentences each), including direct evidence from a middle-ages text (canterbury tales or sir gawain), and paraphrasing from beowulf. it should also discuss how heroic qualities and values have shifted over time.
) both “the wife of bath’s tale” and “the pardoner’s tale” are allegories, meaning they each have an underlying meaning. choose one of the two tales, and in a paragraph (7-10 sentences) analyze the allegorical meaning of the tale based on its plot. cite evidence from the text in the form of direct quotes to support your answer.
