One definition of a tragedy is that it depicts serious incidents in which characters undergo a change from happiness to suffering, often involving the death of others, as well as the main characters.

    Dame Alice Quotes

    During the Middle Ages, men are known to have more power than women, controlling them and taking advantage over them. Women do not have the same rights as men and they are treated differently. Men are superior while women are inferior. Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales changes the society of the Middle Age completely in The Wife of Bath. In The Wife of Bath, the main character of this tale, or the one telling this tale, is a woman, the Dame Alice. The Dame Alice tells her tale as if she has nothing to hide and she explains the role of women in her tale and she explains her tale, thus, becoming the first feminist character in Western Literature.…

    Canterbury Tales Response

    There are over a billion people in this world, an over 50% of them are women. In the current world, they're growing to create an impact in the world. It makes one wonder how they struggled to become what they are today. Many works of literature portray women in two types, those fit and unfit for society. While the two categories may have very different definitions to different perspectives, there isn't a doubt that this has helped society in many ways. One work on literature, which contains both categories, is the The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. The novel describes women who may be shunned by society because of their boldness, while others show women who can get away with anything just because of their status. While the female gender is a difficult subject to tackle, women decide for themselves if they want to please society or not.…

    The poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a late 14th century Middle English alliterative romance. It explores the notion of temptation through the quest of a hero. It presents this quest as a game between the green knight and Sir Gawain and involves numerous sets of laws and codes of chivalry that need to be adhered to. The question of whether Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a poem that is a social critique of medieval society or a challenge to personal morality and virtue causes much debate. However, this essay will argue that Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a poem that criticizes medieval courtly society. This essay will prove this through a focus on three fitts of the poem while using numerous secondary readings.…
