The ironic thing in the words used by the narrator to describe the summoner in "the prologue" to The Canterbury Tales is:

  • <u>The Summoner was corrupt and was ready to forgive a transgression for a cup of wine</u>

According to the complete text, we can see that the Summoner is trying to convince a transgressor that he would allow him to keep a concubine if only he gave him a quart of wine.

As a result of this, we can see that the ironic thing is that the Summoner is supposed to be a church excommunicator who is sent by the Archdeacon to expunge people who committed offences against the doctrines of the church but he was willing to accept a bribe so that he would not do his job.

Literary work in which special intensity is given to the expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm; poems collectively or as a genre of literature.Reading poetry well is part attitude and part technique.
