idealization into question and foregrounds excess'
(Belsey 92). Helen is both idealized and the
pursuit of her excessive; hence she is unlikely to
escape unscathed in a satirical treatment of the
Trojan war. The contrast between the empowering
masculinization of female characters and the
paralyzing feminization of males make the latter
more appropriate to a tragedy or a satire, the
former more useful in comedy. Rosalind speaks
several times in ways that ...

the Blood Meridian is both abstruse and

This town could be any number of different towns
located throughout the Midwest, but it seems
strangely related to the town of Nacogdoches. The
Kid, once thought to be on some sort of migratory
movement to the West, has now completed a full
circle and has returned to the place of his birth.

Wife Of Bath Wife Of Baths Chaucer
660 words
The most potent form of criticism that a writer
can use is satire. Satire is a form of irony
wherein the speaker uses false praise in order to
condemn an idea or event. Chaucer was a pioneer in
the realms of English and criticism. He
popularized the use of the satiric mask. A satiric
mask is when the writer has the speaker like or
support something for trivial and unjustifiable
reasons. By having the speaker supporting things
for all the wrong reasons the writer makes the
situation absurd and it...
