After reading and analyzing the poem, we can explain its central idea in the following manner:

The poem's central idea is about whites' sense of entitlement and lack of guilt when it comes to African Americans. Africans were taken off their land and brought to America only to be enslaved and killed. Then, they were told they were not equal, that they didn't deserve the same rights. However, the same whites doing that are the ones happily asking a black person for something, as if there is nothing to feel guilty or ashamed of.

<h3>What is a central idea?</h3>

The central idea of a poem is the message the author of the poem wishes to convey, the topic she/he is discussing in the poem. After reading a poem, we can ask ourselves what the poem was about, and the answer will be the central idea.

In this particular case, the central idea revolves around the unjust and violent treatment of African Americans by white people. The latter do not feel any guilt after killing and enslaving the former. They think it is their right to hire the former as their employees and boss them around.

The Prioress is trying to be very, well, dainty. She has all these funny habits, like singing through her nose, speaking incorrect French, and eating so carefully that she never spills a drop. She does these things, Chaucer tells us, because she "peyned hir to countrefete cheere / of court" (139 – 140), or tries very hard to seem courtly. When she sees a mouse caught in a trap, she weeps, perhaps believing that this is how a damsel of the court would behave. Of course, two lines later, we learn that she has no problem feeding her hounds flesh, so her weeping over the trapped mouse is probably, like most of her habits, an affectation – a behavior the Prioress adopts to seem a certain way (in this case, like a courtly damsel), but which doesn't really reveal her true feelings.
