More great storytelling!

Imagine being married off at age 12, and then moving on to marry four more times. Whew! Wouldn't you have a lot of advice to offer? Please read Chaucer's description of the Wife of Bath(pages 10 and then 388); her Prologue to her tale (pages 166 - 183); and then her tale (pages 184 - 192). Again, think about how her character is reflected in the tale she tells. Please answer the questions distributed in class as well. Due Monday, Feb. 23

Enjoy one of the best storytellers England has ever produced!!

Now that you have enjoyed (and hopefully not offended by) Chaucer's "Miller's Tale," please read about the Reeve - he is described in the Gen. Prologue on page 13 (and 392, in the original!) and the prologue to his tale starts on page 81, with his tale following. He is quite upset at the Miller's drunken offensiveness! He feels that the Miller has made a fool of carpenters, and since he is a carpenter by trade, his tale is retaliation! Please read and complete the questions for Wednesday, Feb. 18. Enjoy!
PS - Remember, it is a storytelling contest! You can be the judge as well!
