The Canterbury Tales: Difference between revisions

Line 104:

* [[Nice to the Waiter]]: The knight, we are told, has ''never'' spoken rudely to anyone.

* [[Noble Demon]]: In "The Friar's Tale".

* [[No Ending]]: The tales simply stop before all the pilgrims have supplied one, and the framing narration never states that they have made it to Canterbury. Critics have argued about whether or not the story is unfinished. Chaucer's so-called [[Author Saving Throw|retraction]], which is usually appended to the tales as an ad hoc epilogue doesn't make matters any clearer.

* [[Old Maid]]: Reading between the lines, the Prioress is getting past her prime and is overweight from her lifestyle, but is still pretty concerned with her features.

* [[Put Off Their Food]]: Happens in the prologue. While the Cook is a [[Supreme Chef]], Chaucer unfortunately can't enjoy a dish of his because its appearance reminds him too much of a nasty running sore the Cook has on his leg.
