In Class Cantebury Notes

The clerks tale main character-Walter divorces her and marries her daughter,
What tale- the clerk’s tale
What drew you to you-started off with the character being intellectual
Describe the main character-the main character is Griselda she is patient, virtuous, poor, steadfast, devoted, rich in Morales, very beautiful,
How does Chaucer represent the tale-self-aware of his own focus
How does he characterize the protagonist-direct characterization through the dialogue of the other characters and indirect characterization through her actions.
What genre does this represent-a morale tale that is used to represent how to act in times of adversity.
How does characterization and events in this tale represent the larger theme-irony because they act opposite of what the status defined them as.
How would you change the tale to make it better-something really good should have happened to Griselda or there to be justice in the end. For her not to be manipulated willingly.
How would the tale be different-if Griselda had a higher economic status they probably would still get together because of their morals, her status would not have been taken advantage of. If the main characters gender were to have been changed then they probably would not have been able to be together regardless of how they felt about each other because they would not have been able to have a relationship.
What techniques helped to improve the story-direct characterization and depicting how Griselda acted as she was treated badly.
How can you use these techniques to improve your writing-using characterization better and his use of placing characters in adversity.
