Question

Which statement best describes the satire in the excerpt?

Answer 1

Chaucer criticizes the idea that forgiveness is available for purchase.

Further Explanation:

The Person’s tale is proof of its prologue which intends as the final tale of the poetic cycle of Geoffrey Chaucer and it is also known as the all-time longest-running contribution by the Chaucer’s pilgrims. A person’s tale cannot be categorized as a story or a poem. It can be defined as a long and unrelieved prose on penance.  

The Subject of this story is Penitence and because of that, it can be viewed as taking the inferential criticism of the behavior and the character of humanity among all the pilgrims. Chaucer himself claims to be taken by the plea for penitence and because of that he follows this story with a Retraction where he personally asks for the forgiveness of the offenses he has caused.

Answer 2

Hi there!

The statement that best describes the satire in the excerpt from The Canterbury Tales  is that Chaucer criticizes the idea that forgiveness is available for purchase.

In pieces of literature, performing arts or dances, satire is a genre that is used to ridicule or shame someone through wittiness and in form of humour. Satire is usually meant to be humorous.

This can be seen in the excerpt with: “All for a penny! Out now with your purse!” Chaucer expresses humorously what he thinks about churches.  

Hope this helps!
