Okay time to do my homework.

rub the bear · 02-02-2006, 10:27 PM

Seeing as how it's 10:12 PM the night before it's due.

But I can't tear myself away from GAT, so I'll just compose my thesis here to ease the transition. Feel free to jump in with crazy/helpful advice.

I need to come up with a typed topic and tentative thesis regarding my interpretation of a particular theme or rhetorical technique used in "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" and The Canterbury Tales and explain how that theme/technique relates the two texts.

Naturally I'm going to do it on satire.

So here's what I have so far:

The Canterbury Tales was a satire of the romantic ideals presented in "SGGK".

Way too broad.

The satire found in The Canterbury Tales of the romantic ideals presented in "SGGK" speaks multitudes about Chaucer's view of humanity.

Slightly better.

The satire found in The Canterbury Tales of the romantic ideals presented in "SGGK" suggest that Chaucer thought little of his contemporaries.

Okay.

The satire found in The Canterbury Tales of the romantic ideals presented in "SGGK" suggest that Chaucer thought little of his contemporaries. Using both outlandish (crude imagery, etc.) and more subtle (unfavorable portrayal of characters, etc.) tactics, he picks apart the concepts of chivalry and courtly love as they are presented in "SGGK".

Cool I'm like halfway there.

Fine don't help me with my homework. Not even I helped whatshisface with his.

I guess Chaucer isn't as interesting as WWII.

Maybe I should just write "EAT CHAUCER YOU MONSTER!" as my thesis and hand it in.
