From Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales excerpt that contradicts the claim made in the third line that the prioress speaks fluent French is "For French of Paris was not hers to know."

In the General prologue, Chaucer satirizes several characters from various classes and professions. Beginning with the highest class to lower. The first character whom Chaucer introduces is the Prioress who is a nun. She is the first among the female to be described, the first question that evokes in the reader's mind is that such higher religious clergy doesn't take a vow of leading a simple life? Hence, Chaucer satirizes the church, as the members of the church belonged from the upper class. The prioress took advantage from the poor for her own good. She was very well '<em>dainty</em>' and was well-dressed. Being known as <em>"Madame Eglantyne"</em>, she was so pretentious that she hardly knew any words of French.

He states that she did not speak French such as those from Paris, but rather her own version of French, whichever that may be.

1. Compare and contrast the relationship between Othello and Desdemona with that of Cassio and Bianca. How are they healthy and
DIA [1.3K]

Both relationships are unequal in relation to their peers, being unhealthy for all involved.

<h3>What is a healthy relationship?</h3>
  • A relationship based on trust.
  • A relationship that brings security and stability.
  • A relationship that encourages well-being.
  • A relationship that does not cause sadness.

Desdemona is passionate and dedicated to Othello, but his insecurity and lack of trust cause the relationship to become unstable, leading to a tragic and unhealthy end.

Bianca is also in love with Cassio, but Cassio is more dedicated to his professional career and does not value Bianca for being a courtesan. This establishes an unequal relationship, which causes Bianca to suffer and does not present a healthy relationship.

How can you analyze a tone from an audio ?
Maurinko [17]

In this question, you're wondering how you can analyze a tone from an audio.

When you're listening to an audio, the things that you should be analyzing in an audio is:

  • What words are the author emphasizing
  • What specific words are they using
  • Try to hear the way they're speaking, this will help you find the author's mood
  • Try to hear the type of tone they're using (e.g. funny, sad, etc)

In an audio, one thing you should analyze are the words that the author is emphasizing. This means that you should be hearing if the author is saying words more clearly and boldly than others, this is to ensure that the listener is hearing the important words.

You should also analyze is the diction, or specific words that they're using. This helps you understand if they're more serious about what they're talking about, and how professional are they.

Another thing you should analyze is the way they're speaking. Are they speaking fast? Are they speaking slow? This will help you understand the author's "mood" about the topic they're talking about.

The last thing that you should analyze is the tone they're using. Are they using a raging tone? Sad tone? Or funny tone? This will help you understand the author's standpoint of a topic.
