Hi. Did you forget to say that this question is about "Once Upon a Time"

Answer  and Explanation:

The family's behavior is justified by their exaggerated fear. They understand that the world is dangerous and are afraid that their children will run out of danger and for that reason they surround their homes with safety devices, however, the fear only increases making people suspicious of their servants and anyone of color. appear in the surroundings. As these people continue to appear, fear only increases and security devices increase in homes, which causes a strong irony in the text, because these devices make the house insecure and it is exactly one of them that causes a tragedy in the family.

The story explores the characters' motives both indirectly and directly. In the story, there is a lot of dangers that the family may encounter, so this renders them fearful. The parents and everyone else in the neighborhood build walls, fences, and install security systems purely out of this fear. This increased security does not essentially add anything to the neighborhood, it just keeps inspiring more fear. In creating these safety measures, they also create some problems. They still have a fear of their house being broken into, and their lives being in danger, despite having such increased security. This mere fact is ironic since despite taking precautions to ensure their safety and wellbeing, they still live in fear, and they created a danger for their child.

<em>Hope this helps!</em>

What can we infer is Chaucer's point in including this description of the Prioress? To illustrate her commendable manners.
jenyasd209 [6]
The correct answer would be to distinguish her from less pilgrims. She does courtly things like weep for a trapped mouse but we also see that she has no problem feeding her hounds with flesh. From examples like these we can see that she behaves like a lady of the court as to imitate that behavior. It is not a reflection of her true feelings.
