"Pertelote is much more than a mere hen" how far do you agree with this? I feel that this comment is extremely justified. Chaucer with the use of a beast fable has helped to elevate what would be considered a conventionally boring set of animals‚ and turn them into portrayals of human beings. As a cock he may have came from the same batch of eggs as his hens‚ but as poultry it would not matter whether chauntecleer mates with his sisters. However some critics suggest the introduction of the human

Shakespeare makes it clear that ‘Twelfth Night’ is up for interpretation through the use of his double title ‘what you will’; he introduces the
