Well your asking "Can a question be a annotation" And the definition if annotation is "a note of explanation or comment added to a text or diagram." Now looking at that we see "explanation or comment" So in a way...It's more of a answer not a question...
The answer is:
Pertelote's screams are likened to the laments of Hasdrubal's wife.
In the excerpt from "The Nun's Priest's Tale" in Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales," Lady Pertelote the hen cries so loud that she is compared to Hasdrubal's wife's weeping. The reason is, her husband was killed by the Romans, the city was burned and she committed suicide. As a consequence, since the narrator describes the hen's grieving as so loud that it attacks the air, it is assumed Pertelote grieved and groaned desperately.
I would argue with Achebe opinion
Literature could possibly do harm for us to our reality
Jonathan's story in the Civil Peace of course are very good and an emotional roller coaster. But in the end, it is nothing more than a fiction. In order to get a second handle on reality, it's best to find comfort in friends and companions who would help you go through the cold harsh reality
hope this helps
