What is ironic in the words used by the narrator to describe the Summoner in “The Prologue” to The Canterbury Tales? You’d meet

none better if you went to find one. / Why, he’d allow—just for a quart of wine— / Any good lad to keep a concubine. (ll. 666–668)

It could be said that these words used to describe the Summoner are ironic because he is presented as a drunk and that he only can speak Latin. What is more, he is described as a not very clean man so by using these lines the narrator is, in a way, making fun of the character as an opposition to what has been described .

8 sentence description of new york state using the five senses
vekshin1
The five senses are sight, smell, hearing, tasting, and feeling. New York plays on all of these senses in one way or another. Here's a good paragraph to emphasize this:

Manhattan in the winter is a beautiful thing; there are remnants of the holidays all around--the Rockefeller tree looms over passersby, the scent of roasted hazelnuts drifts from the street vendors, streets aglow with millions of lights. On the streets, people grasp hot chocolate or coffee in their hand, feeling the warmth through their gloves. The sound of laughter and bells are carried by the howling wind, immersing the streets in holiday joy. Outside of the city, you can see Christmas in suburbia--lights are strung up on snow-covered houses, children play outside, creating snowmen and forts. The sound of Christmas carolers pierces the air, carrying the holiday spirit with them. The snow is cold to the touch, frost biting through gloves to nip at your fingers. The rich taste of hot chocolate sits on your tongue. The scent of pine trees and baked goods reminds you of one thing--Christmas in New York.

Hope this helps!

"The Crucible" is an allegory, a symbolic story with different layers of meaning. Different characters and elements from "The Cr
cupoosta [38]

We can combine the elements of "The Crucible" with the elements of Red Scare/McCarthyism as follows:

  • A. Witchcraft = 6. Communism
  • B. Abigail Williams = 4. Senator McCarthy
  • C. The Devil's Book = 1. Blacklist
  • D. Salem Courts = 2. HUAC
  • E. John Proctor = 3. Arthur Miller
  • F. Hysteria = 5. The Red Scare
  • G. The Forest = 8. The Soviet Union
  • H. Accused Witches = 7. Suspected Communists

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Arthur Miller, the screenwriter of "The Crucible" wanted to write a story that represented the moment of collective madness that was manifesting in the USA, due to fear of communism.
  • This wave of dread and madness was established by Senator McCarthy who started a wave of accusations from people involved in communism in the same way that Abigail Williams accused people of accusing people of witchcraft in play.
  • People accused of communism, who were tried by HUAC, are represented by people accused of witchcraft, who were tried by Salem Courts.
  • The Soviet Union was considered the cradle of communism and in the play, the forest was considered the place where witches arose.
  • For this reason, people became hysterical in fear of communism, just as in play people became hysterical in fear of witchcraft.
  • People accused of being involved in communism went into a kind of blacklist, just like in the play, where people accused of witchcraft are believed to have their name in the devil's book.

Arthur Miller set himself up as a play character, played by John Proctor, who tried to report on the abuses caused by Abigail, but ended up being heavily punished.
