capital is commonly referred with letters and our alphabet, but can also be used as of the body. if you look back at latin roots it will tell you "of the head" so it is literally body punishment, meaning you are going to die

The first sentence of "Salvation"--"I was saved from sin when I was going on thirteen"--proves to be an example of irony (Links
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

We can reinterpret the opening sentence, because we know that this was the moment when the narrator recognized that he could be spared some things if he acted the way they expected him to act, even if he was lying. This can be ironically reinterpreted, showing that his moment of salvation was actually the moment of perdition and imprisonment.

Explanation:

After reading the text, we can see that the author did not really want to be saved, but was doing what his aunt wanted, to avoid problems for himself. He was not accepting God in a true way in his life, but by keeping and doing what was expected. At that time, the author knew the power of dishonesty and childish corruption, making it an unsaved, but impure, figure.

The Nun's Priest's Tale
jolli1 [7]

1. The human characteristics of Chanticleer are: happy, proud, arrogant, popular, good looking. Human characteristics of Lady Pertelote are: smart, friendly, courteous, loving. These are ideal characters for a story of courtly love.

2. Many characters use literary allusions from the Bible and classical mythology. These classical allusions are ironic because it is up to the reader to decide which satire and morals they should believe.

3. The Host is a jolly, lively tavern-keeper. The Host's character demonstrates that the main purpose of the pilgrimage lies not in the devout religious act but in the fun that tourists will have along the way. The Nun's Priest is an awkward storyteller. His story of Chanticleer is well crafted and suggests that he es a witty, self-effacing preacher.

4. One important moral is "not be so careless as to trust in flattery". During the tale, he wants to demonstrate that trust is a virtue that one should not give away too soon. The Nun's Priest Tale falls under the gender of beast fable with "moral stories". The Tale has an undoubtedly serious side with serious consequences and also some comic or ironic moments. You can also find a lot of double entendres and thinly veiled dirty jokes to portray lust.
