How is the story of Chanticleer mock-heroic? What story elements or writing techniques does Chaucer use to lengthen this simple tale? These are the questions you will answer in this project.
Here is your goal for this assignment:
• Write an analysis of the content and structure of “The Nun’s Priest’s Tale.”
Beowulf is a heroic tale; “The Nun’s Priest’s Tale” is mock-heroic. In what ways does Chaucer use “The Nun’s Priest’s Tale” to ridicule the heroic style? Increased length is a clear result; name other story elements or writing techniques Chaucer uses.
Consider such things as humor, elevated language, stories-within-stories, character development, moral lessons, and other elements.
Do not just list these things; explain them and give direct examples (quotes—with line numbers) from the tale as evidence. Be sure to document your citations according to MLA style. Click here for a handout of the MLA style guidelines.
