Answer:
Auden views that people must never become too busy to help others in their hour of need.
Explanation:
Breughel's painting of the fall of Icarus shows the ploughman unaware of Icarus's fall into the sea. Moreover, he did not seem to care much about the other person's suffering.
This is also rightly mentioned in the poem Musee des Beaux Arts by W. H. Auden. And about the fall of Icarus, he wrote that it <em>"was not an important failure"</em>, even though he may "<em>Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry"</em>. This shows that for Auden, the ignorance of people in helping others in their distress is not how one should respond to others' suffering. Instead, he wishes that one must never be too busy to help others in their distress.
Some literary critics believe that a large portion of the tale may have been written before the rest of the Canterbury Tales and that the four most contemporary figures were added at a later point. A likely dating for this hypothetical first draft of the text would be the 1370s, shortly after Chaucer returned from a trip to Italy where he was exposed to Giovanni Boccaccio's Concerning the Falls of Illustrious Men as well as other works such as the Decameron. The tragedy of Bernabò Visconti must have been written after 1385, the date of the protagonist's death. The basic structure for the tale is modeled after the Giovanni Boccaccio's Illustrious Men, while the tale of Ugolino of Pisa is retold from Dante's Inferno
