The Canterbury Tales: Prologue: How many stories is each person required to tell for the contest?

English
1 answer:
Mashutka [201]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A) 4

Explanation:

The pilgrims go to dinner, during which the owner of the tavern, or Host, makes a proposal to the group: on the way to Canterbury, says the Host, <em>each pilgrim will tell two tales, followed by two on the way back</em>. The Host will accompany the group and serve as a judge of their tales. The pilgrim who tells the best tale wins a free dinner at the tavern at the journey's end. Should anyone question the Host's judgment, moreover, he has to foot the bill for the entire pilgrimage. The pilgrims, eager to have fun on their journey, quickly agree to the Host's proposal and swear oaths to abide by the rules of the game. After a bit of shut-eye, they ride out of Canterbury the next morning and the tale-telling begins.

Consider the last two lines of the poem again. Why do you think the old woman sees herself as a terrible fish? Why did she choos
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

The woman sees herself as a terrible fish because her younger self is drowning and disappearing as she is getting older. Which is why this is a great form of imagery because the reader can see a terrible fish drowning just like her younger self is drowning in her new body. I believe that she chose to compare herself to a fish because she feels that she is aging fast and ultimately nearing death.

Explanation:

The woman sees herself as a terrible fish because her younger self is drowning and disappearing as she is getting older. Which is why this is a great form of imagery because the reader can see a terrible fish drowning just like her younger self is drowning in her new body. I believe that she chose to compare herself to a fish because she feels that she is aging fast and ultimately nearing death.

The mirror explains, in the final lines, "In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman / Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish."

The woman was said to have awatched as her youth slowly disappear or fade over the years of looking into the same mirror, which is why the mirror interprets that as a kind of "drowning" of the woman's youth. While te "terrible fish," then, is the specter of old age, the total loss of youth and vitality.
