Week 11 Reading Diary: Canterbury Tales

Canterbury Tales

The Wife of the Bath's Tale: The Unknown Bride

Aw! What a cute ending! So weird that the knight had to marry the really old woman, but then so happy when she turned out to be one of the young and beautiful women that had been dancing in the forest! I wonder what it was that the knight had done to disrespect a woman...that makes me curious still. Here is the link to the other half of the story.

The Friar's Tale: The Story of the Summoner

Wow. The summoner was more evil and terrible than the Satan himself! That's so detrimental to my faith in humanity...torturing that old woman was so cruel. Serves the summoner right to go to hell! Here's the other part of the story.

The Pardoner's Tale: The Revelers

Ha! Good story. I love these. Even more so than the Native American ones. These horrible people in the stories all get what they deserve. The riches of the world will turn a man to a greedy heathen "before anyone can walk a mile". Here are the last two parts of the story: 2 and 3.

The Cock, the Hen, and the Fox

Yay! The cock survived! That fox was really smart. But the cock was smarter. I think the only reason the cock survived was because he wanted to believe the dream he had had and he also was not cocky...haha punny! He wasn't full of himself, other people were describing his greatness, not he. This was a good story. I don't know why there needed to be such an introduction to the old woman that owned him, but that's okay! That was just a tangent. Dreams do mean things and I've always thought that, this story just backs up my beliefs! Here are the links to the other 3 parts of the story: 2, 3, 4.
