English
1 answer:
atroni [7]3 years ago
6 0

Father and son were at chess, the former, who possessed ideas about the game involving radical changes, putting his king into such sharp and unnecessary perils that it even provoked comment from the white-haired old lady knitting placidly by the fire.

....

“Never mind, dear,” said his wife soothingly; “perhaps you’ll win the next one.”

What do the following lines mainly reveal about Mrs. White?

She is typically a busy-body and does not have time for her family.

She is elderly and needs her husband and son to care for her often.

She is typically more reserved and passive than her husband.

She cares about etiquette and properness more than Mr. White.

Answer:

She is typically more reserved and passive than her husband.

Explanation:

According to the excerpt, Mr. White is playing a game of chess with his son and believes in playing a radical game by putting the King in danger and he played so radically that he even got a comment from the woman that was knitting by the fire.

Mrs. White's response to her husband which was to encourage him that he would win next time shows that she is more reserved and passive than her husband.

Why was the Canterbury tales published after Chaucer’s death?
Olenka [21]
Chaucer’s original plan for The Canterbury Tales was for each character to tell four tales, two on the way to Canterbury and two on the way back. But, instead of 120 tales, the text ends after twenty-four tales, and the party is still on its way to Canterbury. Chaucer either planned to revise the structure to cap the work at twenty-four tales, or else left it incomplete when he died on October 25, 1400. Other writers and printers soon recognized The Canterbury Tales as a masterful and highly original work. Though Chaucer had been influenced by the great French and Italian writers of his age, works like Boccaccio’s Decameron were not accessible to most English readers, so the format of The Canterbury Tales, and the intense realism of its characters, were virtually unknown to readers in the fourteenth century before Chaucer. William Caxton, England’s first printer, published The Canterbury Tales in the 1470s, and it continued to enjoy a rich printing history that never truly faded. By the English Renaissance, poetry critic George Puttenham had identified Chaucer as the father of the English literary canon. Chaucer’s project to create a literature and poetic language for all classes of society succeeded, and today Chaucer still stands as one of the great shapers of literary narrative and character.
