The Canterbury Tales written in Middle English is a collection of 24 stories that runs to over 17,000 lines by Geoffrey Chaucer between 1387 and 1400.
Chaucer’s humor is not stained with bitter satire. Chaucer looked on and smiled on the foolishness of the people. He was a master of irony and sympathetic humor. Chaucer's humor is almost innocent fun.
Satire is found in the world of Chaucer, but it is rarely coarse, seldom severe, and never savage. His humor is not tinged with fierce and biting satire. He did not hit the strongholds of corruption mercilessly; he simply laughed at them and made us laugh. Bitter satire, in fact, did not penetrate the sympathetic and genial outlook of Chaucer. His interest lay in the depiction rather than in an exposure. His object was to paint life as he saw it, to hold up mirror to nature as he sensed it, with a humorous touch.
The character who exhibits irony in the canterbury tales is:
the Plowman, who works hard in the fields
C. Co-working
(Not 100% sure, but according to it’s definition, I assume the answer is C)
Answer: The Fields of Athenry
Explanation:
This Irish folk ballad was written in 1979 by Pete St. John. Set during the Great Famine of the 1840s, it tells a story based on real-life events about a young man near Athenry in County Galway who was deported to the Australian penal colony at Botany Bay because he stole corn to feed his starving family. Since then, the song has been played by many artists and became a famous anthem in Irish sports events.
