The correct answer is plot. Theme is the work's main idea (the "why" of the work), and there usually are more themes in a single work. Narrator is the "I" of the story, someone who tells it. The setting is the "when and where" of the story, the time-place frame. The plot is the "what" - what happens.

Canterburytales summary

Flura [38]

Answer:

"The Canterbury Tales"

In ''The Canterbury Tales'', the pilgrims are setting off to see the shrine of a martyr, which seems to color the stories they tell to each other on the way. This lesson discusses the morality and lessons learned in ''The Canterbury Tales''.

The Canterbury Tales is a book written by 14th century poet Geoffrey Chaucer. The story, which was published almost 80 years after Chaucer's death, tells of 29 people at the Tabard Inn who met each other while traveling to see the shrine of the martyr Saint Thomas Becket, which was located in Canterbury. It is there they also meet the host and narrator of the tale, Harry Bailly. They decide to travel together, and end up telling each other tales to pass the time and win a free dinner at the end of the trip.

Chaucer originally intended to write a story in which each character in the party told four tales, two tales on the way to the shrine and two tales on the way back. However, the published book consists of the main story, plus 24 additional tales. This has led some people to believe that the book was never finished.

When Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales, England was experiencing a lot of upheaval due to class wars, political tension, and the Black Death, a plague that was killing a lot of the population. These events and the ways in which the characters document social tensions impact the themes of this book. Although none of the characters state it specifically, there is a moral lesson in each of the tales.

The Canterbury Tales is a frame narrative, or a story told around another story or stories. The frame of the story opens with a gathering of people at the Tabard Inn in London who are preparing for their journey to the shrine of St. Becket in Canterbury. The Canterbury Tales consists of many tales starting with the General Prologue and ending with Chauser's retraction. Not all tales are complete; several contain their own Prologues or Epilogues. Probably influenced by French syllable counting, Chauser developed for the Canterbury Tales, a line of 10 syllabus with alternating accent and regular end rhyme - An ancestor of Heroic Couplet.

The purpose of the Canterbury tales was three-dimensional characters.

Which thematic statement is best demonstrated by the events of Shakespeare's The Tempest?

Yuri [45]

Answer: B) Even in a new place with new people, travelers never escape their old problems.

Explanation:

The Tempest tells a story about Prospero, a magician who was utterly betrayed by his brother and forced to flee his dukedom. Caught in a tempest, he arrives on an enchanted island together with his daughter, Miranda.

The characters in the play have multiple times found themselves in a situation where they could behave in disagreement with their social status. However, they continue to act in accordance with their societal roles. The most obvious example of this is Prospero himself, who is determined to recover his title, although he now rules the entire island and has a servant (Ariel) and a slave (Caliban). Instead of being pleased with this situation, he plots a revenge to regain his title, because this is how it works in his society.

In addition, Miranda and Ferdinand are not intimate even when there is nobody around them, because they are used to controlling their urges. Both Caliban and Stephano and Trinculo do not reach freedom as they are convinced by the society that they belong to a lower class.
