Geoffrey Chaucer Takes Advantage
952 words
In Canterbury Tales, Chaucer uses the Pardoner and
the Prioress to subtlety display what he thinks of
the church. The Prioress is after the attention of
men. The Pardoner is after money. Chaucer shows
the corruptness and hypocrisy integrated into the
religious society at the time of the story. He saw

towards males. She was known as Madame Eglantine.

Madame Bovary Real Life
242 words
Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary is almost
cynical. Emma is flighty; she is unable to face
the prospect of not being completely, happy, and
rich. She turns her back on a loving husband who
would give her anything it was in his power to
give, and quests after a life out of a storybook.
This book is satirical; Flaubert is almost poking
fun at Madame Bovary's silly reasoning. She does
as much as she can to liven up her life, and ends
up regretting everything she does. She regrets her
marriage, this...
