Read this passage from Beowulf, in which Wiglaf, one of Beowulf's men, speaks to his companions as Beowulf battles the dragon. W

iglaf then joins Beowulf and addresses him.
“I remember the time when, tasting the mead-cup,
We promised in the hall the lord of us all
Who gave us these ring-treasures, that this battle-equipment,
Swords and helmets, we’d certainly quite him,
Should need of such aid ever befall him:
How we have forfeited our liegelord’s confidence!
In the war-band he chose us for this journey spontaneously,
Stirred us to glory and gave me these jewels,
Since he held and esteemed us trust-worthy spearmen,
Hardy helm-bearers, though this hero-achievement
Our lord intended alone to accomplish,
Ward of his people, for most of achievements,
Doings audacious, he did among earth-folk.
Our lord is in sore need of us. 
The day is now come when the ruler of earthmen
Needeth the vigor of valiant heroes:
Let us wend us towards him, the war-prince to succor,
While the heat yet rageth, horrible fire-fight.”
 ... 
Through the bale-smoke he stalked then,
Went under helmet to the help of his chieftain,
Briefly discoursing: “Beowulf dear,
Perform thou all fully, as thou formerly saidst,
In thy youthful years, that while yet thou livedst
Thou wouldst let thine honor not ever be lessened.
Thy life thou shalt save, mighty in actions,
Atheling undaunted, with all of thy vigor;
he monster advances on them. 
I’ll give thee assistance.”

1. In his speech to his companions, Wiglaf 3) urges them to remember their duty.
Wiglaf is trying to persuade his companions not to give up, to give their lord a hand, to make them remember what they were there for. Beowulf is already old and cannot possibly deal with the monster on his own, which is why Wiglaf and the companions are supposed to help him.

2. Throughout this passage, Wiglaf is presented as 1) a model of loyalty.
He is the only one who doesn't give up on Beowulf, and doesn't leave him to die after his fight with the dragon. He is the only one who decides to stand up to the monster and fight him for his lord and country, and manages to kill the dragon, thus becoming Beowulf's heir.

Based on the excerpt you read from The Canterbury Tales, what do you think was Chaucer’s view of the Church? What characters are
BartSMP [9]

Chaucer was clearly disenchanted with the Catholic church and uses a lot of satire in his tales, definitely.  One way many authors "got away" with criticizing the church was through satire, which involves poking fun at serious subjects.  Chaucer is no exception.  I do not believe that he had very specific purposes but that he wanted to merely bring attention to some of the inadequacies and wrongs in the church. 


He may not be saying that they are "liars" in particular, but he absolutely thinks of them as corrupt and deceptive. 

Nun seems flirtatious and too much involved with appearances to be holy.


Monks are materialistic with his hunting dogs and horses, fancy clothes, and no time for studying the good book and the rules of St. Benet who said monks should be impoverished, chaste, and obedient to God. 


Friar seems to be bribing young ladies to give him sexual favors and then finds them, husbands. He knows the taverns and inns better than the poor whom he is supposed to be serving.


Pardoner--cons people into buying holy relics that are frauds--the pillowcase he said was Mary's veil,  the cloth he said was part of Peter's sail, etc.


Summoner--appears to be a drunkard and his carbuncle-covered face suggested in Chaucer's time that he was a lewd and lecherous individual.  He also puts on airs with his very limited Latin.
