Chaucer's descriptions from "The Monk's Tale" which best illustrates Fortune as unreliable is "And when men trust in her she then will fail / And cover her bright  face as with a cloud."

The monk's tale fits the category of parable because it tells the results of different people's good and bad behavior.

The Monk tale is a series of tragedies which represents the news that the wealth and position is just an illusion. He refers through the example of many falling from high to low ends, such as the example of Lucifer falling from heaven. Through such example and stories, he continues to show the people who have fallen from grace.

Model of tragedies which Monk offers is a Boethian one that is which is a reminder of the versatility of the life itself, to bring on top to those who are crashing down on the grounds and that the tendency of the feminine, whimsical fortune to spin her wheels. Hence, it is a simple narrative and Boethian reminder that high status often ends inadequately.

Burka [1]

<u>Compare and contrast W. H. Auden's "Musée des Beaux Arts" and William Carlos Williams's "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus." </u>

<u>What similarities and differences do you see in the way the poets present ideas to the reader?</u>

The most important similarity between W.H. Auden and William Carlos Williams' poems is that both describe Pieter Brueghel's painting <em>Landscape With The Fall of Icarus</em>. Both poets illustrate the scene and all its surroundings with detail. Both poets exemplify with imagery the painting's scene and what it depicts.

<u>Nevertheless, the poets do differ in other elements:</u>

  • Auden presents his poem using free verse and divides it into two long stanzas without any rhyme. Although William Carlos Williams doesn't use rhyme either, he keeps a more traditional construction by dividing the poem into six stanzas with three lines in each.
  • Auden reflects on suffering and the burden of routine depicted in the painting with more delicate and meditative observations. He mentions Icarus in the second stanza and contemplates his psyche in a deeper way. Williams, on the other hand, presents his ideas in a concise manner. He states the reader the facts and describes the painting with concrete examples. He mentions Icarus since the first stanza but doesn't concentrate on what he might have felt or what others might be feeling in that precise moment.
  • Auden sensed the painting and tells the reader his experience when he saw it.  Williams is an observer. He tells the reader a descriptive summary of what he saw without delving into his inner experience and thoughts.

In paragraph 4, Alice says to herself: “‘not that it signifies much…. I should think it would be quite as much use in the trial
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The correct answer is C)

Explanation:

To Alice, the entire trial was a sham. There was a Jury (of which the Lizard was a member) that was incapable of reading. If this was so, how could they evaluate any evidence that spoke to her credit or demerit?

For in the same Chapter 7, a letter or a collection of verses was read which according to the Queen was a piece of evidence against Alice. The Jury, even upon the challenge to do so by Alice, could not interpret the same.

Cheers!
