Why does Chaucer picture the prioress with a coral trinket on her arm

English
1 answer:
inn [45]3 years ago
6 0

The prioress is a nun who is head of a house of nuns. At the beginning of the tale, Chaucer describes her physical appearance such as her mouth, her eyes and her face. Then, he moves on to describe what she has: her clothes and her jewellery. The coral trinket on her arm is the first piece of jewellery Chaucer mentions. The reader expects a nun not to wear any jewellery of decorative nature because she is devoted to God and does not have to worry about her looks or about materialistic things such as jewellery. The "coral trinket" is the first hint the author gives the reader that shows the prioress is not the typical nun one would expect.

What was the original title of the night before christmas
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

"A Visit From St. Nicholas".

Explanation:

"The Night Before Christmas" was a poem anonymously published in 1823 and later claimed by Clement Clarke Moore in 1837. This Christmas poem is ascribed to be largely responsible for the Santa Clause conceptions and the belief of this 'imaginary' person. The poem was originally known as "A Visit From St. Nicholas".

The poem consisting of 56 lines in one long stanza has a rhyming scheme of a normal aabbccdd......... . The meter of the poem follows the anapestic tetrameter, where the lines consist of two unstressed followed by a stressed syllable.

The poem talks of a night before Christmas when a father of one family saw St. Nicholas descend through the chimney and fill the decorative stockings with gifts for the whole family. Wishing the family with <em>"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”</em>, he left the amused father. This began the concept of a Christmas Santa Claus visiting before the day of Christmas and giving gifts to the children.
