Pertelote's screams are likened to the laments of Hasdrubal's wife.
In the excerpt from "The Nun's Priest's Tale" in Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales," Lady Pertelote the hen cries so loud that she is compared to Hasdrubal's wife's weeping. The reason is, her husband was killed by the Romans, the city was burned and she committed suicide. As a consequence, since the narrator describes the hen's grieving as so loud that it attacks the air, it is assumed Pertelote grieved and groaned desperately.
