Told by a charming priest and a gentle man, A Nun's Priest's Tale is a bestial fable in the narrative framed by Chaucer's genius, The Canterbury Tales. Written in the late 14th century, The Nun's Priest's Tale is a fable about an all-too-selfish rooster named Chanticleer who dreams of his impending doom taking the form of a beast. Deeply troubled, he seeks consolation from other wise stable animals and his favorite wife, Pertelote. Being a beastly tale, the Nun's Priest mocks the Court World by lowering the nobles to the level of animals to be mocked. Since this fable shows that animals behave like humans it also implies that humans, i.e. court people, behave like animals. Using the technique of a mock-heroic tale, the nun's priest takes a mundane event and elevates it to a climactic story. almost comically. When the fox escapes with Chanticleer clutched in his jaws, the entire scene is narrated in the lofty and sophisticated language used in many epic poems to enhance the climatic tones and spectacular actions that take place. By using intricate language to describe a fox kidnapping a rooster in a farmyard, the story is given a very comical and ironic tone. The chase is described as: "O Geoffrey, thou my dear and sovereign master, who, when they brought King Richard to disaster and shot him dead, mourned his death so much, I wish I had thy skill, thy gentle breath, to rebuke a Friday half as well as thee! (For he too was slain on a Friday.) Then could I fashion thee a rhapsody For Chanticleer in terror and agony” (Chaucer, 228). his death at the Battle of Bosworth Field suggests the mocking and comic absurdity of the situation on the part of the priest of the nuns. Thus, the priest of the nun and possibly...... at the center of the card......fight Phrases like “redder than fine coral” or “crenellated like castle walls” and “burnished gold” evoke the image of a knight in shining armor and "one of the five standard colors in coats of arms." (asur, Middle English dictionary entry). This establishes his appearance as a person of the court. Thus, the proud and charming Chanticleer is representative of the self-centered values ​​of the courtly world that the nuns' priest is ridiculing. The irony of this story is obvious. The highly philosophical intellect of the roosters and hens represents the ideals of the courtly world which is mocked by having the setting as a barnyard. The nuns' priest uses this fable about the beast as a moral cautionary tale. The judicial world is offended when its flaw is highlighted: betrayal through flattery. Chaucer himself could criticize the court for his guilt.
