After reading the Prologue of "The Canterbury Tales," we can say the following about how Chaucer shows the dramatic political and social change:

  • The emergence of the middle class and the abandonment of the feudal system are all reflected in the Prologue.
  • Among the several characters listed by Chaucer, the knight is the only one representing the feudal system and its old values.
  • The other characters, like the new middle class, question the system, the rules, and the values that had been so prevalent. They have their own interpretations of right and wrong.
  • The characters' ideas of what is moral and their religious beliefs are loose, all of which are results of the drastic social changes that occurred.

There are several characters in "The Canterbury Tales" on a pilgrimage to visit a saint's tomb.

Most of them serve as an allegory to the social changes happening in England at the time when the story was written.

With the exception of the knight, the characters represent the new middle class that emerged from the feudal system.

The knight is the only one of noble birth and whose values have remained unchanged.

Characters such as the Wife of Bath and the Pardoner have loose morals. They are not attached to what society and the Church expect from them.

They live their lives by their own standards and make their own interpretations concerning what is right and what is not.

In "Big Yin" he gets a job in Food Fare, because he was "too fond of the pub and the bookies", however, this job only lasted until the end of the episode.

Answer: Marriage

Explanation:

From the passage it is shown that women are to be subservient to men and this was imposed by limiting their education and career choices which are ways of empowering women to break free of patriarchal control.

As marriage is the main way that a woman can be tethered to a man, it stands to reason that women had a lack of independence when it came to their marriage and this is shown by Queen Elizabeth choosing to remain unmarried so that she does not lose her authority as the monarch of England in marriage.

What are 3 important quotes from the Four Freedom speech
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

"But we learn much from the lessons of the past years in Europe—particularly the lesson of Norway, whose essential seaports were captured by treachery and surprise built up over a series of years."

"Even when the World War broke out in 1914, it seemed to contain only small threat of danger to our own American future."

"While the Napoleonic struggles did threaten interests of the United States because of the French foothold in the West Indies and in Louisiana, and while we engaged in the War of 1812 to vindicate our right to peaceful trade, it is nevertheless clear that neither France nor Great Britain, nor any other nation, was aiming at domination of the whole world."
