The Summoner - Abbagael

## Introduction

The summoner is a Character within the Canterbury Tales,[1] by Geoffrey Chaucer. This story is written during the crusades and it was vital during that time that you were conforming to the rigid religious standards, so this job made sure that citizens were, indeed, doing so. The Summoner is introduced to the story in a fit of anger directed towards the Friar. From then on, it is made clear the Summoner is an unliked character that man do not appreciate, including the author himself.

## Summary

The Summoners story begins with a confrontation between him and the Frair, and he tells him a tale of heaven. In the tale, he tells of the fierce lack of Friars in heaven. His tale tells of how Friars, no matter how much they go house to house, no matter how much they beg, they will not make it into heaven. The Summoner does not tell a tale of himself, but rather the Friar, in an attempt to enrage, successfully.

## Class

The was part of the professional class, within the religious sect The Summoner calls citizens before the ecclesiastical court for spiritual crimes and decides their punishment. This Characters job is hard and requires e a hardened man to complete tasks hard by any standard.

This period was very strict and not what you would call ‘accepting’ and ‘inclusive’, mistakes were not taken lightly.

## Description

The summoner is described Horrendous, hideous, and terrible. The summoner could be described as Pedophilic Banker with severe acne. His Gross appearance isn't made up for with personality, which is considered to be just as ugly, or even worse.

## Chaucers Opinion

Geoffrey Chaucer had a very poor opinion of this character, and wrote him so, making him ugly and ill-mannered. This character was leading in malevolent tendencies and actions. This may lead to the theory that Geoffry's opinion of these men were also negative.

The Friar- Rachel

## The Friar (Canterbury Tales)

### Summary

The Friar is one of the religious characters in the Canterbury Tales. His name is Hubert and he lived with the poor community and hos duty was to use his earnings to support their livelihood, however, the Friar in the Canterbury tales was more interested in flirting with the women in the town than his actual duties. The Friar uses the title as "The Friar" to get money from the church. Being self-centered, the Friar does less of his duties for the church and instead does things for no benefit but his own.

### Description

The Friar knows how to talk in a persuasive way to get money from the wealthy landowners and women in the town. He wore a long hanging hood and had a rich cape like a Pope. He liked to sing and that is another thing that made him unique.

### Class

The Friar was considered to be in the upper class due to his closeness with God. Being in that religious position, his place in the upper class was secure.

### Story

The friar's story is about the summoner. He tells of how the summoner cheated a widow out of her money. The woman gets upset and tells the devil to bring him down to hell. The devil brings him to hell. The summoner says he will get him back in his story.

### Symbolism

The Friar's tale is to create the view that the Friar is a hypocrite as much as the summoner is. In the tale, it is made obvious that the Friar uses the money earned for his own purposes and isn't as "worthy" as everybody thought.

The Franklin- Kolbey

The Franklin is a man of pleasure and leisure. He is the one at the town, where he supplies good food and wine. He is the host of the party and makes his guest have the best time of their lives. He was black, but he wasn't looked at differently. This is important because he has more leisure and less hate towards him, unlike the other people of his race.The Franklin's position on marriage differs between the Man of Law that only takes a far less firm view of this world's joys. The Franklin strives to help the relationship between the Wife of Bath and the the Clerk. The marriage of The Franklin is one based of only mutual consent, mutual obligation, and mutual trust and faith.

Canterbury Tales English 175 Wiki

## Description/ Social Class

Vision Charter School English 175 2017-2018 Wiki

The squire in the Canterbury tales by Geoffery Chaucer is the son of the knight, twenty years old, he travels with the knight, these two are of the highest social class although his tale is interrupted by the Franklin. sadly there is not a ton of information on the squire when it comes to his tale because he is cut off.

## Squire's Tale: (summary)

The squire begins his tale after being asked to tell a story of his favorite subject love. He starts by describing the king of the mongols, it's his birthday and the king is visited by a knight with gifts from the king of India and king of Arabia he gives the king his daughter Canacee a magic brass hose, a magic mirror, and a magic ring that lets her understand birds. As well as a sword that can cure any wound it creates. She rescues a dying falcon that tells her that her boyfriend left her for another chick, The Squire’s Tale is either unfinished by Chaucer or is meant to be interrupted by the Franklin, who interjects that he wishes his own son were as eloquent as the Squire.

## Chaucers opinion:

chaucer has some form of respect for the squire though he doesn't allow him to finish his story. the squire is very talented but is more fascinated by women then he is his duties. Chaucer created this character to represent someone similar to the Knight, but instead of having religion play an important role in shaping the character, the Squire is influenced by love.

The Doctor (Canterbury Tales)

## Description:

The Doctor is very healthy physically, though does not have much of a care in his spiritual health. From his work and saving tendencies, he can afford more valuable clothing such as robes of silk and taffeta.

## Social Status:

The Doctor is very liked and respected among the people. He is more in the range of middle class, though he is not one short of riches, as his lust for gold keeps him financially stable.

## The Physician's Tale:

The Physician’s tale is about the Knight, Virginius, and his daughter. Virginia is a very beautiful lady, yet virtuous and pure. The judge of the town notices her and begins to lust over her and is dire to get her. Desperate, he concocts a plan to make her his own. He hires Cladius to accuse Virginius of stealing his servant. Before he could defend himself, Appius (the judge) orders him to have his daughter turned over and be his maid. Virginius knows of the judge’s lust and tells Virginia that she will be shamed if she goes to Appius, and to die a virgin would be the only other option. Virginia is apprehensive and disagrees with her father and her father then brings her to Appius. When Appius is given this, he attempts to violate Virginia and calls Virginius to be hanged. Despite this, the people defend Virginius and want Appius to be imprisoned. Virginius calls for the judge to be exiled, though Claudius retains his punishment and gets hanged. The inevitable moral of this story is that you will reap the consequences of your sins.

## Symbolism:

Chaucer's description of the Doctor's clothing symbolizes his financial status as well as his fancy towards gold, and his seemed sole purpose of becoming a physician.

## Middle English:

Geoffrey Chaucer wrote his masterpiece completely in middle English. Middle English is different from Old English in the that middle English has many similarities to modern English. Middle English can still be read relatively easy, compared to old English where you have to read a translation.

He Is a man of business so he spends his days in the markets haggling prices to try and get the best deal for himself. One of the details that Chaucer doesn't include is the characters name. His modern application could be a businessman or the CEO of a corporation. Because he runs he trade of his population and makes money off of it just like a business tycoon.

## **Story:**

In Syria there was a company of many rich traders who traveled to Rome. After a while there, they came across a beauty named Constance, who happened to be the daughter of the Emperor. She was known for her beauty, virtue and goodness. When they saw her, the merchants returned to Syria and told the Sultan. He was immediately overwhelmed with love for Constance. The sultan met with his advisors and told them of his intent, but they could conceive of no way that he could marry Constance, for no Christian emperor would allow his daughter to marry a Muslim. The Roman Emperor heard of the sultan’s desire, and agreed to it, organizing a huge amount of pomp and circumstance for the occasion. The day arrived for Constance to depart, and everyone prepared themselves.

The Pardoner By: Jazmin Macias

## Description/ Social Class:

The Pardoner is a character from Canterbury Tales by Geoffery Chaucer. He has shiny, swell eyeballs. The Pardoner has long, thin yellow locks that went behind his shoulders. He has his hoddie inside his wallet, but other times he wore a cap with a relic he sewed on.

In the Canterbury Tales, it doesn't really say if the Pardoner is wealthy or not. It just says that he doesn't include if he is in the middle class or in the lower class. He wants to become rich.

###

## The Pardoner's Tale (Summary):

The Pardoner is someone who travels and sells official church pardons. He also tells funny stories to cheer people up when the host asks him to. He is someone who earns money for forgiving people for their sins. He delivers mini-sermons on drunkeness, gluttony, gambing, and oath swearing. The Pardoner uses biblical and hisorical examples and shows people how all these sins are related. He invites the believers to set up and to buy his relics or made them buy a pardon or two. He also suggests that the Host is someone who is in most in need of shame, so the host is the first one to buy something.

## Chaucers' Opinion:

Chaucer's opinion toward the Pardoner is that Chaucer presents him as religious figure. He thinks the Pardoner is selfish person. It says, “Chaucer builds the character of the Pardoner as someone who is ironically deceptive and driven by his own selfish motives.” He also uses evident from his use vocabulary, his style, and by using a strong imagery and description.

The Cook (Canterbury Tales) - Nathan

## The Cook (CANTERBURY TALES)

In the Canterbury Tales Geoffrey Chaucer tell us about a very vivid character called the cook. Not much is known about the cook. The name Geoffrey Chaucer gives him is Roger of Ware and is described as a great cook who has a bad sore on his leg. His sore on his leg was described as being tummy-turning. This is the reason he has gone on the pilgrimage. The Cook believes that if he went on this pilgrimage it will heal his sore.

## Summary:

The Cook is part of the new Middle class (the working class), he cooks for everyone in the pilgrimage. Chaucer shows pity and criticism for this pilgrim in his mentioning of the ulcer on his knee.

## Description:

The only description of the Cook is his sore on his leg. The picture to the right shows him in a red shirt and has an apron on but we do not know what he really looked like.

## Status/Class:

The Cook is considered to be in the middle class. The middle class is all the people who were not in the working class and the people who were not in the upper class and for this time period it was fairly new. He was labeled as a Professional or master cook on London but his food said otherwise.

## Story:

Perkin Reveler is an apprentice cook to what he calls his Master. He loves to Gamble, dancing, singing, and all sinful things. After the Master fires him he has the rest of the night to do sinful things. Later that night he meets another man who is just as sinful as he and goes and lives with him. His new friend's wife is said to own a shop to hide her sinful deeds. The tale ends with the Cook saying he will tell a better tale on the way back.

## Symbolism:

The Cook is the perfect symbol for the beginning of the middle class. It shows how a man who has worked so hard can get too comfortable in life and not have the motivation to do anything else in life or see the need to try at life.

## Middle English:

Middle English was a version of English that came from Old English. During this process, people who knew Middle English wrote a lot of our words a little differently and how we say our words also changed. This is the exact same process that leads Middle English to our Modern day English.

The Canterbury Tales: The Monk's Tale, by Gregory Chaney

## Summaries

### The Monk's Description

The Monk is described as being bald and fat. He wears a robe fitted with fur trims. He spends most of his time hunting and horse-riding, activities monks were not allowed to participate in. Although he does not follow the rules, he still utilizes the title.

### The Monk's Tale

The Host expresses a wish that his wife could have heard Chaucer's tale of Melibee. His wife is not as patient as Prudence, the wife of Melibee: in fact, when the Host beats his servants, his wife brings the clubs and eggs him on. The Host fears that his wife will some day force him to kill a neighbor. The Host asks the Monk to tell a tale. The Host praises the Monk's appearance and says he does not have the appearance of a poor monk. In fact, says the Host, it was a foolish person that dedicated the Monk to religion, for had the Monk the opportunity to have sex, he would produce many children. The Host says that if he were a pope, every manly man would have a wife, even if he were a monk or a priest. Religion, says the Host, has caused the children of the world to be puny and weak, because so many weak laymen are procreating while manly men like the Monk remain celibate. The Host asks the monk not to be angry with him; he's only joking. The Monk defines a tragedy as a story about someone who ruins their life and cannot overcome the obstacles. The Monk announces his intention to tell the tragedies as they come into his mind.

## Social Class

The Monk is a member of the clergy, so has higher social standing than most members of society, but are also the lowest ranked members of the church. Monks were some of the most educated people during the medieval period. The were some of few who knew how to read and write. They were responsible for educating the rest of the world. The also played an important role in local communities by feeding the poor and caring for the sick. Monks are considered Non-hereditary nobility. This meant that they gained power without familial ties. Monks ranked as the lowest among the members of the church but still ranked higher than most occupations on the social hierarchy. Monks mainly spent their time studying and praying. They would also spend a lot of time on manual labour. Each monk would have different responsibilities depending on their talents and interests.

The Miller (Patrick Millar)

## The Miller (Canterbury Tales)

###

## Summary

The Miller is a big strong fellow with a very crude mind. He is also a swindler, charging alot of money for his services. The Miller is also a drunk, being drunk even when he tells his story. His reason for the pilgrimage is because he wants to heal a large wart on his nose.

## Description

The miller is a strong man who enjoys wrestling and drinking. He wears a white cloak with a blue hood, and

carries a sword and buckler. On his nose is a large wart with a few black hairs sticking out of it.

## Status/Social Class

The Millar was a part of the middle class, and made a lot of money because he overcharged for his services, so much so, he is called a swindler and that he had a golden thumb. The Miller would be similar to a modern day skilled laborer, someone who does something physical, but makes a lot of money doing it.

## Story

True to his character, the Miller tells a crude story about an old man named John and his wife Alisoun. A younger man named Nicholas stays with them and lusts after the wife. They come up with a plan to trick John into making three boats which are hung from the ceiling because they believe that there will be a flood. When they climb into the boats to sleep, Nicholas and Alisoun climb down to satisfy their desires. Then, a third man, Absolon, who also loves Alisoun goes to the window and asks for a kiss. The wife offers her rear end, which he kisses. He then goes to retrieve a red hot poker to get his revenge. When he returns Nicholas offers his rear end instead, which is then poked with the red hot poker. When he yells, John thinks that the flood has started and cuts down his boat. Nicholas runs away, and the neighbors are amused at their antics.

## Imagery

* As the Miller is crude to begin with, and he is drunk, his story is extremely crude.

## Chaucer's Attitude toward the Miller

Chaucer overall doesn't like the character, as he is crude and a drunk. However, he does seem to be in awe of how strong he is and how capable the Miller is at wrestling, as he has never lost.

Tradesman

The Tradesmen of the middle ages were master traders and travelers, needing to travel far and wide to find their tradable goods. They could train under carpenters, silversmiths, blacksmiths, and Merchants. They learned trades and continued to pass on the trade and traditions of each trade as the ones they taught continued to come to learn underneath them. They were typically a middle class people but some of them such as Marco Polo were in the upper class of the rich. They held power and some even had guilds during the time.

A day in the life of a tradesman started before the sun was up. They ate breakfast and started to get to work. Blacksmiths starting up their forges, woodworkers starting or finished the current projects. After a long days work they go back home to their families, eat dinner and go to bed.

Blacksmiths, silversmiths, and carpenters all exist still today as tradesmen. They hold their trade as a sacred source of life for themselves.

### Description

A tradesman, typically a man, would be well seasoned in different trades. Blacksmithing, Woodworking, and SIlversmithing were the most common. They had to be experts in mercantile and showed no backing down in order to make a profit. Chaucer shows that he believes the Tradesmen to be smart and more worthy of more wealth Lines 382-388.

### Class and Status

They were part of the new middle class or upper middle class. They held their art forms at high regard and were commissioned to create works of art for the rich such as Lords, Dukes, Knights, and Kings. They were great at contributing to the upper classes home with carpentry, decor, weapons, and jewelry.

### Story

A haberdasher(hat-maker) and a carpenter, An arras(curtain)-maker, dyer, and weaver
Were with us, clothed in similar livery(uniform),
All of one sober, great fraternity.
Their gear was new and well adorned it was;(5)
Their weapons were not cheaply trimmed with brass,
But all with silver; chastely made and well
Their girdles and their pouches too, I tell.
Each man of them appeared a proper burgess(Townsmen)
To sit in guildhall on a high dais(platform).(10)
And each of them, for wisdom he could span,
Was fitted to have been an alderman(local official);
For chattels they’d enough, and, too, of rent;
To which their good wives gave a free assent,
Or else for certain they had been to blame.(15)
It’s good to hear “Madam” before one’s name,
And go to church when all the world may see,
Having one’s mantle borne right royally.

Kaesha-Parson

The Parson is a hardcore religious character in The Canterbury Tales . The Parson is a preacher man, who is extremely poor. This is only in the sense of money, because he is filthy rich when it comes to holy thought and work. This man was one of the most charitable people you could meet. He never let anyone do his job for him or even help him do his job. The parson gave the tidings from the church to those in need of financial assistance. He was quite the golden boy, with few flaws. Definitely knew how sit down and be humble...
The Monk- Layton

Summary/Abstract:

When one thinks of a monk, he may imagine someone who studies, prays, and performs manual labor. The Monk, one of the thirty pilgrims travelling on a pilgrimage to Canterbury in The Canterbury Tales, is nothing like the usual monk many people imagine. He is rebellious, ignores rules, and lives and controls his own life. Chaucer, the narrator and author of The Canterbury Tales, shows these characteristics in the way the Monk looks, the things he says and does, and in the things the host, a character in "The Monk's Prologue," and Chaucer say about him.

Description:

The Monk's robe is different from that of other monks. Monks usually wear plain habits with hoods. This Monk has gray fur on the sleeves of his cope and a gold pin with a love knot at the end of the hood. This indicates that he is not religious because instead of the gold pin, he should have a rosary. He is in good shape unlike other monks who are thin because they fast often. He is bald and has a shiny head and face.

He probably did not want to become a monk but decided to be one anyway because the monastery provides a cloistered environment, away from the betrayal of people and of women. In "The Monk's Tale," he talks about different men who died because they were betrayed by their loved ones. Hercules, for example, died after being poisoned by a shirt his girlfriend gave him, and Samson killed himself because his wife gave his secret away to his enemies, who, in turn, tortured him. Since women betrayed these men, the Monk does not trust them.

Status: The Monk
Characters Story:

The Monk's tale is a collection of tragedies, designed to advise men not to trust in blind prosperity but be aware that Fortune is fickle and ever-changing. Lucifer is the first tragedy told, who fell from an angelic heaven down to Hell. Adam is next, the one man not born of original sin, who was driven from Paradise. Sampson's tale is told at greater length, explaining how he fell from grace when he admitted his secret to his wife, who betrayed it to his enemies and then took another lover. The story is that Samson slew one thousand men with an ass's jawbone, then prayed for God to quench his thirst. From the jawbone's tooth sprung a well. He would have conquered the world if he had not told Delilah that his strength came from his refusal to cut his hair. Without this strength his enemies cut out Samson's eyes and imprisoned him. In the temple where Samson was kept he knocked down two of the pillars, killing himself and everyone else in the temple. Hercules' tragedy is next. Hercules' strength was unparalleled, but he was finally defeated when Deianera sent Hercules a poisoned shirt made by Nessus.

Historiografia

La **historiografía** es el conjunto de técnicas y métodos propuestos para describir los hechos históricos acontecidos y registrados.Si la historia es una ciencia cuyo objeto de estudio es el pasado de la humanidad, cuestión en que la mayoría pero no todos los historiadores concuerdan, se tiene que someter al método científico, que aunque no pueda aplicársele en todos los extremos de las ciencias experimentales, sí puede hacerlo a un nivel equiparable a las llamadas ciencias sociales.

Para investigar e interpretar las sociedades, los historiadores recurren a fuentes históricas, es decir, a testimonios
