Her greatest oath was but By Saint Eloy!

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.

Describe the various instances that depict Candace Lapidus as an archetype for any academician. (Gogol's first day)
Soloha48 [4]
In chapter 3, Namesake, Candace Lapidus is introduced in the story as the principal of the school who will be taking Gogol's registration. During their meeting with Gogol's parents, she noticed that Nikhail is the written name on the registration but the parents call the kid Gogol. She then asks the kid what name he prefers and decides to go by it. 
This instance shows Candace Lapidus as the archetype of a teacher because she has a genuine interest in the kid. She focuses on the things that will make the kid feel relevant and be more responsive. These are traits most commonly found in teachers.
