Ryan also wrote a sentence for his if you would like another option.
Thanks Ryan for the sentences. They are great. I have a quick question, do we have to know the specific morals that go along with each story? or are we just supposed to identify the story to the character?
my character was the prioress, so to support ryan's sentance...
The Prioress: A widow’s son sang a hymn, Satan tells Jews to kill the child, the child continues because Mary laid a pearl on his tongue, the abbot removes the pearl and he dies
ok. THe widows son is a chirstian, and his hymn praises Mary. The jews think that its an anti jew hymn. he sings while dead, and so on.
heres a link to a rather crude version of the tale; some of it is a tad bit off, but its a visualization of the basic idea.
Wife of Bath: A lusty knight rapes a women and will have his life spared if he can find the answer to the question what do women want most in the world and finds the answer to that question from an old hag that he must marry but one day through his honesty the hag turns into a beutiful woman
A word of wisdom to you guys, Know these tales like the back of your hand because I just tried writing them with the general prologue 2x and each time was around 30-40 min
I did the manciple and just wanted to add to remember for a character description that he is the illiterate one and he can't read but he is very smart in other things.

Amazing! thank you!^_^
lu
I forgot 1 little detail;
At the end of the Prioress' story, just add on at the end-
"and then the Jews are all killed".
just to add to Ryan's summary of the Reeve's tale... the devious events are the two college students seducing the miller's daughter and wife.
i don't know if that makes the sentence too long but you never know what kind of detail you might need
The Miller - A student, Nicholas, falls in love with a woman, Alisoun, who is the wife of the man he is boarding with and while he is trying to trick the husband another man comes to court Alisoun, which fails and gets him angry, so he gets vengence and all three men suffer in some way.
Ryan also wrote a sentence for his if you would like another option.
-Chris C.-
Quick correction to Ryan's post about the knight. The princess' name is spelled Emelye not Emily. I know Laz will be a stickler about that
Thanks Ryan for the sentences. They are great. I have a quick question, do we have to know the specific morals that go along with each story? or are we just supposed to identify the story to the character?
