Question

what can the reader infer about the monk's character based on the fact that all of his stories contain the same tragic moral? a. he is a simple person that only sees the world in absolutes.  b. he does not know stories outside of the biblical ones.

Answer 1

In the Canterbury tale by Geoffrey Chaucer, the reader can infer the monk's character based on the fact that all of his stories contain the same tragic moral is that he loses himself in the sermon he is preaching to the audience.

The monk's tale fits the category of the parable because it tells the results of different people's good and bad behavior. The Monk tale is a series of tragedies that represents the news that wealth and position are just an illusion. He refers to the example of many falling from high to low ends, such as the example of Lucifer falling from heaven. Through such examples and stories, he continues to show the people who have fallen from grace.

The model of tragedies that Monk offers is a Boethian one that is which is a reminder of the versatility of life itself, to bring on top to those who are crashing down on the grounds and that the tendency of the feminine, whimsical fortune to spin her wheels. Hence, it is a simple narrative and Boethian reminder that high status often ends inadequately.
