Well, the second half of the Canterbury Tales unit definitely started off with a bang. The Prioress’s Tale: Little Hugh seemed a little extra dramatic, especially in their
treatment of the Jews! Definitely seemed
a little overboard for what I assume is a children’s story. Definitely gives an insight into the general
feelings towards the Jewish people of the time!
The second story, The Cock The Hen and The Fox, was odd.
Several times I thought that I had moved on to a new story, only to
realize that I was still in the same one! It was an interesting read, but
rather confusing at times! I was
especially confused by the two tales of the men, the one murdered and the other
drowned. I’m not entirely sure why they
were included in the story!
Overall, it was an interesting unit, but definitely not one
of my favorites. They just didn’t seem
to quite work for me!
