Chaucerize Poem
When the sun falls down the glistening lake
That’s when the nocturnal beasts come awake.
Sharp, triangular teeth better known as fangs
Pop out when the feet of the bats hangs.
Taken by a mistress’s wrist, the blood drips
On to the beast’s drenched and red colored lips.
After all, sleeping for hours all day and morning,
Can leave them hungry; let this be a warning.
They’re afraid of sunlight, garlic, and holy water
The job for a father was to protect his precious daughter.
The pointless mirrors were frustrating on shelves,
For the beast had no sight of a reflection himself.
A mortal being couldn’t possibly think
To stake the beast’s heart as fast as a blink.
These blood-thirsty creatures contained superhuman strength,
They could pick up a mountain and throw it miles length.
They were also rapidly faster than lightening
They will catch you in a millisecond, how frightening.
Secretive and insidious these monsters were
And it was the young, beautiful ladies they’d prefer.
Waiting for the mayor’s daughter to come out at night,
He’d compel her to not scream, and take a big bite.
For he is only in need for warm blood,
So much for his thirst, he’d create a small flood.
These enigmatic creatures would never leave their traces behind,
So no one in the world would know about their kind.
For getting away with their criminal actions,
Mortal beings would have a memorable reaction.
And to finally heighten the pain from their grief,
These vampires they call them just go back to

    The Beast Folk describe ‘sucking the blood’ as a faint memory of what occurred in their past but, now it is only something they crave beyond reach. Moreau’s repeated Law and punishment through vivisection to control their natural instincts turn the Beasts into mindless individuals. Consequently, as Moreau gains further control over the Beasts, his cruelty leads to their loss of identity. As a final point, when Prendick ventures into the House of Pain, he witnesses Moreau’s physical alteration of one of the Beasts. Hearing screams of anguish, Prendick tears open the door to see “something bound painfully upon a framework, scarred, red, and bandaged. And then blotting this out appeared the face of old Moreau, white and terrible” (78). The House of Pain reflects Moreau’s obsession to create the perfect form of life by vivisecting animals. The humans-like screams of the Beast demonstrates its immerse suffering. This process of becoming a new creature, one that is closer to Moreau’s ideal specimen, illustrates the strenuous transformation the Beast endures. On the other hand, the House of Pain is social punishment for the Beast Folk and if the law is seen as religious, then the House of Pain is their hell. The sickening…

    Chaucer's Obscenities

    (Slide 1) After declaring that “Chaucer followed Nature everywhere,” and that God’s plenty can be found in his works, John Dryden, in his Preface to the Fables, Ancient and Modern, considers why Chaucer includes “low characters” in the Canterbury Tales, such as “the Reeve, the Miller, the Shipman, the Merchant, the Sumner, and above all, the Wife of Bath, in the prologue to her tale.” This tendency toward the low, Dryden suggests, is a quality that Chaucer shares with Boccaccio, whom he also includes in the Fables. “What need [had] they,” Dryden asks, “of introducing such characters, where obscene words were proper in their mouths.” Dryden’s answer to this question is simple: there is no need for such characters, with their obscene words. And, in the case of the Canterbury Tales, the solution is equally simple; Dryden omits from his collection the tales containing these obscene words.…

    This poem dramatizes the conflict between appearance and reality, particularly as this conflict relates to the central symbol of the poem, the goose fish. The speaker relates the tale of two lovers who encounter a dead fish on the beach after sharing their affection with one another. While looking at the fish, the couple ponders the meaning of this fish. Taken figuratively, the goose fish occupies many roles. As the speaker overlooks the events taking place between two lovers on a beach, he introduces the goose fish as playing the part of an intruder: “Until they saw… / As though the whole world had found them out, / The goose fish…” (15-17). Shortly after the lovers witness the goose fish, they ponder over what the fish’s big toothy grin “would express, / So finished a comedian” (30-31). The speaker then expresses the lovers’ thoughts that delegate the fish as an emblem of their passionate love and an optimist of their relationship. Finally, after conveying the numerous roles that the lovers attribute to the fish, the speaker expresses the lovers’ final decision to call the goose fish their patriarch who blesses their union. In reality, the fish can not realistically satisfy these roles because it has died. In this way, the speaker communicates the several roles that the lovers ascribe to the goose fish.…

    William Carlos Williams’ “Red Wheelbarrow” is a poem that was written by the late author back in 1923. Eighty years later, a parody of Williams’ poem was written by F.J. Bergmann and it was titled “An Apology”. Although Bergmann’s poem was written just to ridicule Williams’ poem, the similar form of imagery used in both poems possesses more meaning and is more complex than they might seem at first sight. Also, the comparison of the two poems shows how greatly times have changed.…

    chaucer satirization

    • 326 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Chaucer uses satire in the descriptions of the pilgrims in the "General Prologue" of The Canterbury Tales to reveal corruption in the Church that was prevalent in society. Many members of the clergy used their positions for personal gain. This can be seen in his cast of characters. Of all the pilgrims associated with the Church, the Parson is the only one who is honorable. One of the corrupt pilgrims is the Monk. The Monk disregards the rules that govern monasteries. The narrator is referencing this book of rules when he states: "But this same text he held not worth an oyster;/And I said his opinion was right good" (18-19). The narrator really doesn't agree with the Monk's opinion that the rules are outdated. He is using sarcasm to make his point that the Monk chooses not to follow the rules because they hamper his lifestyle of hunting, owning possessions, and eating fine foods Another member of the Church Chaucer satirizes is the Friar. The narrator states that "He was the finest beggar of his house" (42). This statement has double meaning. The Friar is a successful beggar because he makes such a good living begging from the wealthy people in his district. Instead of helping the poor, he uses this income for himself. In this way he is also a "fine" beggar because he does own expensive clothes that he wears on arbitration days. Friars were not allowed to mediate for profit, so this is another way he is a corrupt member of the Church. The Friar allows sinners to pay him for forgiveness when they are unable to show remorse for their sins Chaucer reveals a changing society in The Canterbury Tales. While he does focus more on members of the clergy, he also gives commentary on society through other characters like the Squire. Unlike the Knight, his father, the Squire is interested in battle because of the attention he receives from the ladies…

    Physiognomy is the belief that physical attributes, such as a large nose or a wide forehead, were directly related to a person’s character. This is no longer a matter that is studied, however, in Chaucer’s time this was prevalent. In “The Prologue” Chaucer introduces a wide variety of characters that belong to different social classes and through direct and indirect characterization, we learn physical and mental qualities. In today’s society, this study is no more, even though humans are always seeking to understand behavior. In Chaucer’s “Prologue” Physical qualities of a character are believed to be directly correlated to their personality; however, in modern society, this belief is no defunct.…
