CANTERBURY TALES (I)


  • uses rhyming throughout the prologue
  • gives personification in the very beginning to "April's gentle rains"
  • hauberk - a shirt reaching mid- thigh with sleeves (worn by the knight)
  • simile used to compare a hunter monk to a "flapping fish out of water"
  • It seems as if we are going to get the true nature of these characters, and not just who we think they are based on their social title
  • adjudicate - to make a formal judgement about a problem, to act as a judge
I want to read most about the knight.
