Usually what element helps you identify the theme of a story is what lesson the main character learns, or any important idea or refrain throughout the story.
The feature of medieval life that is reflected in this excerpt is the acceptance of the Church's authority.
This excerpt is part of "The Pardoner's Prologue" from <em>The Canterbury Tales </em>written by Geoffrey Chaucer. Moreover, it shows the acceptance of the Church's authority in the Middle Ages.<u> During this period, the Church was not only a powerful force but also the dominant institution</u> since it had the power to influence and control every aspect of people's lives. In this excerpt, <u>the narrator refers to the power of members of the Church, priests and clerics, of interdicting someone, which means prohibiting someone from doing holy work. </u>
First there are the four lover characters: Hermia, Helena, Demetrius and Lysander. All four are head over heels in love and all four have something standing in the way of that love. Hermia and Lysander are in love but Hermia’s father Egeus doesn’t want them to marry. Instead he wants Hermia to marry Demetrius. Demetrius is in love with Hermia but she is not in love with him so even though he has Egeus’ support, Hermia refuses to marry him. Helena is Hermia’s friend and she is in love with Demetrius. But he does not return her feelings. All four spend the play trying to get their love to work out because being with the person they love is what is most important to them.
Answer:
A conversation between two business men for example, would include: Hand movement when talking but not too much, eye contact, good posture, small smile which makes you approachable.
This would not include: Slouching, eyes drifting away, don't look clearly bored, don't ignore their potential questions.
Include a proper greeting and farewell. In this situation you are talking to a business man so use professional language and talk/act in a mature manner.
