The irony lies in the fact that the summoner was a corrupt man and that he acted only on his behalf.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The summoner acted like a Christian and honorable man, but was extremely corrupt.
  • He permitted any wrongdoing as long as he got a bottle of wine in return.
  • In this case, the summoner allows the forgiveness of people's sins, if they can please him with something.

In this case, the narrator shows that the image of a corrupt summoner is ironic, but more common than it sounds.

Answer:

The Canterbury Tales was written in a period where the Catholic Church sold extravagances. Individuals would give a proposing to the congregation and would get grace for a transgression or sins. The summoner for this situation was bad. He was able to give an extravagance or grace for a wrongdoing, in return for a quart of wine. His rationale was egotistical and just for his own pleasure.

Does the speaker seem surprised that the raven speaks to him? If he wasn't surprised, what would that suggest about the speaker
Nesterboy [21]
He was not surprised because he was already going insane. Since he was hallucinating that the raven was spouting words at him. He was already ill to begin with so it was not a surprise he thought the raven spoke.
