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.

Explanation: Hope this helps :)

Read the passage describing Achilles: "Thus while he roused the fire in every breast, Close and more close the listening cohorts
TiliK225 [7]

The extended simile in the passage is: As when a circling wall the builder forms, Of strength defensive against wind and storms, Compacted stones the thickening work compose, and round him wide the rising structure grows.


A simile is a figure of speech that compares one thing from another thing of a different kind. It adds meaning to the text because it emphasizes the:


a. Strength of the wall - which is likened to being a barrier that can be used as protection from wind and storms.


b. Size of the structure - which was built with hours of hard work and construction materials that can withstand such great forces of war.
