Reread the excerpts from the"general prologue," "the pardoner's tale," and "the nun's priest's tale," keeping an eye out for the way the tales present apparent didactic messages. then write a short analysis of each tale, noting its didactic qualities and the moral that the teller tries to impart. in your opinion, are the stories actually as didactic as they sound? in what ways do they depart from what is normally considered an “instructional” story? support your analysis with relevant quotes from the excerpts.

The pardoner has – in recent years – become one of the most critically discussed of the canterbury pilgrims. his tale is in many ways the exemplar of the contradiction which the structure of the tales themselves can so easily exploit, and a good touchstone for highlighting precisely how chaucer can complicate an issue without ever giving his own opinion.

Answer from: Quest

explanation:

the intellectual community is a place like a university where people with high marks, or original thought or an outstanding interest in something gather. they take classes together. they discuss things. they argue sometimes, and not always in a friendly way. but if they argue, it is because they are passionate about something, and there is nothing the matter with that.

lately i've been hearing rumors that it is not the way it was when i went to school. the one thing all schools used to have was free speech. the 1st amendment rights were sacred. now i'm hearing they are not. students can be reported and disciplined for giving an off the wall opinion.

that is shameful.

intellectual ideas are meant to be discussed. they are meant to be chewed up and worked on. that is the primary responsibility of every intellectual community. if that is not the way it is, then that is not a school to go to.

social media, in my opinion, and this is just an opinion. i wouldn't take it too seriously, complicates everything to do with human communication. you can want to share things and others feel they have the right to be very critical or sarcastic or mean about what you share. lack of respect is an immeasurable intolerable condition and social media abounds with that sort of thing.

one of the things i really like about is how careful people are because they must have some idea that the mods are exactly what the word says they are. they police this board very well, and what is so remarkable about them is that they are no older than the average grade 12 student.

my hat goes off to them (which means i respect them quite a bit).

Excerpt from jane eyre charlotte bronte 2 i was glad of it: i never liked long walks, especially on chilly afternoons: dreadful to me was the coming home in the raw twilight, with nipped fingers and toes, and a heart saddened by the chidings of bessie, the nurse, and humbled by the consciousness of my physical inferiority to eliza, john, and georgiana reed.
