British Lit Sections B, C, & G - HW due Tuesday, October 27

In The Canterbury Tales prologue, Chaucer uses satire to criticize or mock the behaviors of most of the characters. He exposes their weaknesses, loose morals, and hypocrisies. Your task is to choose one of those characters and write a defense from their first person point of view. Have your character speak back to Chaucer, defending him or herself from Chaucer's criticisms. Chaucer has a lot to say about each character, and now is the chance for the characters to try to excuse or explain their behavior.

Your writing should be at least a paragraph (5-7 sentences) in length, and should either be emailed to abongiorno@hudsoncatholic.org or written neatly on a clean sheet of loose leaf paper to be handed in.
