I don't know about any one else, but the spelling in this paragraph is throwing me off. It's making me uncomfortable.

I can't tell, is this a name of a person or place??? I'm confused.

I am unsure what exactly its saying here. Erreth wasn't really explained in google, other than it being a third-person singular simple present indicative form of err.

Contention:heated disagreement.

So basically it's saying that the law is wrong and they want to dispute it.

Definition:a claim or assertion of a claim to something.

Despite the author writing about saying goodbye to love, I thought the sentences were each beautiful. I really love to read different ways authors uses to describe emotion.

Definition:a state of rest, sleep, or tranquility.

Right off the bat, I really like how this started off with an exaggeration of love and lies and even goodbyes. Already sounds like an interested story

I really enjoyed reading the different perspectives of Mary and Elizabeth, despite the story being all over the place and honestly, a little confusing.

I'm noticing the trend in this reading that her sentences are super long. Like each sentence is like this, or even longer. Geez

This was definitely an interesting way of writing and the theme behind it. I really like that some of the sins were portrayed through the reading. I felt like the pardoner confessed a lot of things that maybe he shouldn't have said so freely. Whether it was about the church or things he did. Made me wonder why he was so open about things he did.

I wonder if he marked which one is the safe one. I've seen stories where they don't and they end up dying too. A classic LOL

Can he really though? I mean, the other two rogues were talking about killing this lone one too.

I almost imagined he is cursed and he is just begging to die. 'Flesh, blood and skin' sounds like an -definite- old man with nothing else to live for and how he is proclaiming when 'his bones come to their rest' is ready to die.

How exactly old is this man? I know the life expectancy was decent but I'm a little confused about the age in this time period.

Definition: a civil officer or lay judge who administers the law, especially one who conducts a court that deals with minor offenses and holds preliminary hearings for more serious ones.

Definition: having unlimited power; able to do anything.

Definition: an unnecessarily or excessively large amount or number of something.

Seeing lust here as well as gluttony, makes me wonder if this story has to deal with the seven -deadly- sins. I feel like wrath will be upon them sometime in the story. Very interesting.

I'm a little confused. Was it a dice game they were playing (Was dice even around back then?) or does it symbolize something else?

He doesn't come cheap and to be taught by him, whether he explains something or teaches you something, there is a price to be paid.

There's no such thing as a free lunch, is a saying that reminded me of that line. I've heard it everywhere and it's true.

Definition: Strong desire to have that which belongs to another.

Definitely sounds like a greedy man. Can't be satisfied with what he owns

Definition: inordinate pride in oneself or one's achievements; excessive vanity.

I'm still salty about what he did. He has no worth to life... Ugh

Personally I think his blood should be spilled with the beheading! Take action and place fear into men for raping woman. >:(

Definition: A member of any of certain religious orders of men, especially the four mendicant orders. Synonyms: Monk, brother

If my boyfriend tried to deprive me of my wine, oh hell no. There'd be hell to pay. Especially after a long day of work!

I don't know if it's just me, but to be honest, she sounds like a whore...

Definition: showing, feeling or relating to sexual desire.

That's interesting to be compared to bread...

I wonder if it had to do with each marriage was bad and only got worse and she realized her first husband was what she wanted all along, or if it was a religious belief that she had sinned and it was being taken out on her.

Not going to lie, this story was wild! It was very enjoyable to read, to be honest.Nothing like how I imagined. I don't think it was my favorite, but by far, it was one that shocked yet entertained me from all of the pranks.

This made me think of a prophet. Staring at the stars as if trying to figure out the message he was given.

I really like the imagery the author uses to describe people or things in his story. It really does help to paint a clear image in the head.

It's a drink made from ale and fermented honey. Or it could be from ale sweetened and spiced. Sounds delicious!

I don't see this lasting long...

Definition: Amusingly coarse or irreverent talk or behavior.

This story was way easier to read than all of the other stories we have read so far. I really enjoyed that Chaucer introduced each character before writing the story. This helped paint a clearer picture of who we were going to be reading about and what kind of characters were going to be there.

That's the way to go!

Definition:a covered walk, especially in a religious institution, having an open arcade or colonnade usually opening onto a courtyard. a courtyard, especially in a religious institution, bordered with such walks. a place of religious seclusion, as a monastery or convent.

Definition: say or recite with little rise and fall of the pitch of the voice.

It makes me wonder with how they explained it being Spring in the beginning, are they trying to signify that the ill and weak are from the aftermath from the winter?

I really like the way the story starts off. It sets the time of year to give you a better understanding what the setting will be like through the beginning of the . story.

In the beginning I really didn't care for the style of reading. It was confusing and the sentences were constructed weird. But the more I read, and with the help of the other annotations, I gathered what was being written. It seemed like a dragged out story after the green knight left with his chopped head in his arms and sir Gawain trying to find him. But it wasn't bad. Some of the details painted a nice picture in the head. I do wonder what will happen in the next part. Though, i didn't really understand why the green knight showed up in the first place . That was weird.

He didn't come very prepared for this journey. Makes me wonder how long he thought it was going to take versus how long it actually did take to find the green knight.

So, he's headless, like the Headless Horsemen? Interesting..

Would this because he see's red, challenging any/everyone there or more just because he's tired after the journey?

Definition:a piece of armor originally covering only the neck and shoulders but later consisting of a full-length coat of mail or military tunic.

Definition:Pleasing or agreeable to the sight; well-proportioned; good-looking; handsome.

Seems like an exaggeration, to be the foulest on earth. But sounds intriguing.

All of the stories combined had a forbidden type of love involved. But in the end, they all had a nice ending to it, even if death was a factor. At least they got to be together after being apart for so long. Reading these stories, it shows that love goes through many obstacles and distance and time being the biggest factor.

That's such a long time for not only their love to be relayed through letters, but for a swan too.

Definition: a man or boy acting as a servant or attendant

Definition: an estate of land.

Basically she knew what she was doing and there was no doubt to what/why she was writing the letter./

This makes me think of the evil queen from Snow White. She has to be the 'fairest' of them all and when she learned that Snow White was more beautiful than her, she sent her huntsmen to go out and kill Snow White. I'm getting that same vibe from this, just minus the killing.

This makes me think that she is some kind of Goddess. Luring men in and gives him something but in exchange, is if he is to speak to someone regarding her, of this, then he'll lose a friend.

I don't know about you, but if someone said that I faired above a count, emperor or even a king, I knew it would be too good to be true. Something fishy is going on and yet he is so enchanted by her.

Emperor of the Roman empire. Also is known by the name of Augustus.

It makes me wonder, if back in the day was it normal to be carrying around a basin of pure gold. I thought only Lords and Kings had things made of gold. Or am I wrong?
