THE WIFE FROM THE CITY OF BATH’S TALE


   The tale that we’ve read was interesting .As the writer said in the story, in that time elves and fairies were lurking around everywhere with people and this was normal thing .Nevertheless , in that century ,  we can not see like these creatures.Because they don’t exist anymore.Of course that is a tale  , extraordinary events may be come true but there is a thing that I can not accept.As you know ,one day ,one of the Kıng Arthur’s knights raped woman violently . And at the end of the story ,the Knight will be happy.
   
As I said before, it was really great story except for its ending.It would be different .So,in that times,regardless of the statute, you may be Knight or a peasant,raping woman is not tolerable.It would be trivial but I believe that , a rapist does not deserve being happy, even in  the story.The story would be end when the Knight married to the old and ugly women .Raping should not  go unpunished.

   Judging from another point of view,this is a tale , right? And in that story , raping woman and at the end being happy is not ethic.Firstly ,let’s accept it.People tell the stories their children.Every tale has a lesson.When parents tell the story to children, this things settles into the children’s subconscious .And in progress of time ,like these things will be normal for new generation.They will think that '' I can do anyone whatever I want but I deserve  everything  best .''That is completely  wrong.And  if it is goes like  that, I’m concerned  about  the  new  generation,I’m sorry.
   
To  sum   up , if  the  story  had  shorther , it  would be beter both  ethical  and  more  rational, in  my opinion.So we  have  no  right  to  threaten  children’s  unsoiled brains.Hopefully…

THE CANTERBURY TALES

   The Canterbury Tales was written by Geoffrey Chaucer in 14. Century.It is composed of tales that pilgrims tell each other during the journey in order not to be bored.In terms of being the first work in English , it has great importance.Furthermore , it is said that , Chaucer had read many important works and wrote the Canterbury tales  in the trait of these works.Nevertheless, that is just a rumor , so the accuracy of the situation is not known properly.Whatever, we will examine two of the characters of the Canterbury Tales which I really liked.These are the Haberdasher and the Doctor.

   In that story , there was a Haberdasher .In detailed way , they were a hatmaker, a carpenter,a weaver,a clothing dyer and a tapestry maker.I think they are neither so wealthy nor so poor.They were in the middle of them .They were not stupid people ,on the contrary, they were all wise enough . All of their work were different but all of them was belonged to same union . Interestingly,their clothes were the same .Their wives had important role in their lifes because being single or married position was efficient,without no doubt.

  In that story there was another character that I liked,of course he was the Doctor.As you know , it was a medical doctor.If I had lived in that times , I would have adored him.His knowledge was not limited to medicine.He also interested in astrology and movements of Sun and Planets .He could easily cure his patients.Additionally, he didn’t eat too much ,he ate simple and  nutritious .Maybe therefore, he was such a healty man.And maybe being a healty person is not difficult .Easy thing : Eat less.He had so many positive attitudes that, saying all of them is not possible.Lastly,he mostly read Bible.Maybe he had divine power , who knows…

   To sum up ,I liked the whole story but the six characters had a different attractiveness for me.It may be a tale but it may not be , as you know.I believe that all of the characters in tale are representing different things in the World.But for us ,the essential thing is  to see it …
