“How did Faulkner pull it off?” is a question many a fledgling writer has asked themselves while struggling through a period of apprenticeship like that novelist John Barth describes in his 1999 talk "My Faulkner." Barth “reorchestrated” his literary heroes, he says, “in search of my writerly self... downloading my innumerable predecessors as only an insatiable green apprentice can.” Surely a great many writers can relate when Barth says, “it was Faulkner at his most involuted and incantatory who most enchanted me.” For many a writer, the Faulknerian sentence is an irresistible labyrinth. His syntax has a way of weaving itself into the unconscious, emerging as fair to middling imitation.
While studying at Johns Hopkins University, Barth found himself writing about his native Eastern Shore Maryland in a pastiche style of “middle Faulkner and late Joyce.” He may have won some praise from a visiting young William Styron, “but the finished opus didn’t fly—for one thing, because Faulkner intimately knew his Snopses and Compsons and Sartorises, as I did not know my made-up denizens of the Maryland marsh.” The advice to write only what you know may not be worth much as a universal commandment.

This question refers to the Monk in "The Canterbury Tales". The fact that the Monk tells story after story, all with the same moral, means that he is a simple man, who perceives the world in absolute and simplistic ways.

- Among the several characters, the Monk tells different stories with the same moral.
- All of his stories aim to show characters<u> falling from Grace</u>, that is, going from a high position to a low one.
- His purpose, through his tragic stories, is <u>to warn people against trusting wealth and prosperity</u>. Reality can change, and one can go from having everything to having nothing.
- The fact that the monk teaches only the same moral reveals that he is a simple man. His view of the world is also simplistic, and he seems to believe in absolute truths.
