Despite its short length, #ctprio is difficult to get through for its hypocrisy as others have mentioned. Shaking my head. #chaucerpc

[Emeline Swanson @ESwansonpc]

@novellopc Exactly why it is my least favorite! #chaucerpc #ctprio

[Emeline Swanson @ESwansonpc]

@moscapc1 It gets kinda tricky to differentiate between new ideas and old. They mesh together. Was plagiarism a thing back then? #chaucerpc

[Emeline Swanson @ESwansonpc]

Chaucer is influenced by Boccaccio's day 10 tale 5 of the Decameron, but I wonder where the unknown reference comes from #chaucerpc #ctfrank

[Emeline Swanson @ESwansonpc]

@novellopc I know! I scoffed at that. I'm getting sick of these notions of the "ideal woman." #chaucerpc #ct

Constance loses her memory from trauma, but she remembers her father and doesn' t want Alla to reveal her? #confused #chaucerpc #mlt

[Emeline Swanson @ESwansonpc]

@dasaropc Ew lol, but it does look like the ones from the clay-mation

[Emeline Swanson @ESwansonpc]

I'll admit that Chaucer is creative in this version, but way creepier than Boccaccio! He needs a bucket joke. #chaucerpc #reevestale

[Emeline Swanson @ESwansonpc]

@moscapc1 Yeah it's pretty twisted. And Chaucer tries to make it less rapey in the end as if nothing happened. Interesting.. #chaucerpc

[Emeline Swanson @ESwansonpc]

@StoopsPC I know, and how does one.. well... take his bucket to the well SIX times?! Is that healthy?

[Emeline Swanson @ESwansonpc]

@moscapc1 I agree! Boccaccio shares some really great tales and I love the whole context of the plague. #chaucerpc #decampc

[Emeline Swanson @ESwansonpc]

Medieval apocalyptic fiction. You know, beautiful people dancing around in garlands and what not. #chaucerpc #decampc

[Emeline Swanson @ESwansonpc]

" 'Since I got out of this bed I've taken my bucket to the well six times.' " Giggity giggity! #chaucerpc #decamIX6

#chaucerpc Thesis:Chaucer’s intentions for LGW and how this biographical approach clarifies the view of the defamed woman as defined by man.

[Emeline Swanson @ESwansonpc]

I wonder who Chaucer will get a lecture from next. Is there a god of masculinity? #chaucerpc #lgwpc

[Emeline Swanson @ESwansonpc]

@moscapc1 I was thinking that, too. And Chaucer tactfully leaves out the Procne and Philomela serving Tereus dead baby thing. #chaucerpc

[Emeline Swanson @ESwansonpc]

@ESwansonpc was the betrayer. #chaucerpc

[Emeline Swanson @ESwansonpc]

#chaucerpc #tcbk5 "Those who through great subtlety and wit betray you, God give them sorrow, amen" (1785). He speaks for men, but Criseyde

[Emeline Swanson @ESwansonpc]

@reislerpc I think he's characterized this way to support the Christian-didactic theme, seen strongly at the end of book5 ll.1785 #chaucerpc

[Emeline Swanson @ESwansonpc]

@moscapc1 That is an interesting comparison! That helps to reinforce the whole buy/exchange idea of women. #chaucerpc
