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

English
1 answer:
inn [45]2 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.

Discuss the parallel plots of Boo Radley and Tom Robinson in the novel. What connects these plots, and why is it important to un
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The main similarity between Boo Radley and Tom Robinson is the fact that although they both had good intentions and wanted to help others, they were judged harshly and misunderstood by society.

Boo Radley has a bad reputation around town, and is consider something of a villain in the town's stories. The kids make up crazy lies about him, due to a mixture of curiosity and fear. He is painfully shy and occassionally violent, which means he does not interact with the community often. This, in turn, causes people to be even more scared of him.

Tom Robinson has a similarly bad reputation, but for different reasons. He does not have a reputation as a bad individual, but as an individual from a bad class of people, African Americans. He has not committed any bad action, but people judge him harshly and assume he is a criminal due to their racial prejudices.

Both characters strive to do good and help others throughout the book. Tom Robinson tries to stay out of everybody's way, and only gets in trouble because he feels obligated to help Mayella. Boo Radley similarly helps the children many times, most importantly, when he saves their lives. However, both characters are misunderstood and face a life of pain because of the people's prejudice. Both characters could also be considered "mockingbirds," because the only thing they do is sing (try to be good and do good). Their parallel plots are extremely important as they encompass the main themes of the book.

Do you think our society is selfish with poor morals? Why?
barxatty [35]

Answer:

Indeed I think our society is selfish with poor morals because people don't even care about others feelings. For example, there is a girl that win 2,000,000$ with help of her sister, but guess what this girl doesn't give credit to he sister and instead she said that she knew everything and she did everything all by herself. Another example can be: you are at the mall and you find 100$ in the floor, then you see that there is a person that is looking for that money, and instead of giving that money to the person you pick it up and go away. This is a pretty good example of being selfish and immoral. Instead of staying with that money you needed to give it to that person, I mean you didn't know if that money was the only thing that person had.
