English

The Summoner was a church official who was responsible for calling out sinners before the courts. Although this was his job, he himself is a sinner. The Summoner would allow a sinner to keep a mistress for an entire year just in return for a quart of wine. He is sympathetic to such people because in all likelihood he commits the same sin himself.

UNO [17]
<h3><u>Marigold's story come off to be so believable and real:</u></h3>

Marogold’s story comes off to be so real and true because it is a real story based on a real person. It is based on the real facts of life. The whole story is about a young girl who got depressed after the collapse of her husband.

She broke down and carries a scarf with her that reminds her of her husband. She fought from this depression bravely. This encourages many youngsters to believe that they can come out even from the worst situation in their life if they are determined to do that.
