Question

Match the lines from The Canterbury Tales to the characters they describe.

Answer 1

Prioress- Her greatest oath was but By Saint Eloy! And she was known as Madam Eglantine.

Dishevelled, save for cap, his head all bare. 
As shiny eyes he had as has a hare.
A voice he had that bleated like a goat. (Pardoner)

A lover and a lusty bachelor, With locks well curled, as if they'd laid in press (Squire)

Though so illustrious, he was very wise 
And bore himself as meekly as a maid. 
He never yet had any vileness said (Knight)

He had but little gold within his coffer;But all that he might borrow from a friend (Clerk)

to ride about the world, loved chivalry, Truth, honor, freedom and all courtesy (Knight)

Right threadbare was his overcoat; for he had got him yet no churchly benefice (clerk)

Answer 2

Answer:

Hi! I am afraid your answer is incomplete. We can't give you a precise answer unless we have the lines you are talking about. I did a little research on the Internet, but I was not able to find the lacking lines. Anyway, I'll try to guide you for you to answer this task on your own.

Explanation:

With the lines from The Canterbury in front of you, and after reading the whole text, think carefully which character is described by that line. Whenever you read a story, you create in your mind a vivid image of each one of the characters because you learn from them according to the author's description. So, when you finish the text, each character has an image created in your mind. Read the lines you are given in this task, and think "which character would do/say this?" You know them, you've learned from them in the text, you will realize who the lines are describing.

You'll do great!

Good luck!
