Act 2 Macbeth

  Act 2 opens with Banquo and his son going to Macbeth’s castle. Banquo tells Macbeth of the dreams he has had about the witches and prophecies. Macbeth is also feeling very guilty in this scene. Macbeth is feeling guilty and remorseful from the killing of Duncan, and Lady Macbeth convinces him not to feel bad about what he did. Everything comes to haunt Macbeth in this act. There is also a lot of strange things that occur as well, such as horses eating one another and an owl killing a falcon. The owl, symbolizing darkness which also symbolizes Macbeth, kills the falcon which symbolizes Duncan. This is ironic because owls do not usually come off as harmful and Macbeth does not either. People aren’t what they seem to be in this scene and looks can be deceiving.

Entry 5

  My favorite tale from the Canterbury Tales was the Miller's tale. The Miller's tale was very humorous. What made it even funnier was that he was drunk. The humor made the tale not seem boring and dreadful to read. I felt like I got through this tale the fastest because of the humor, it was easy to follow, and simply the best tale. I did not care for the other tales as much due to them not being as funny or interesting. Therefore, I dread reading them and did not have as good as an understanding as I did with the Miller's tale.

Geoffrey Chaucer Summary

  Geoffrey Chaucer, poet and writer, has been known as the father of literature as well as the prime shaper of the English language. He has also been recognized for his achievement of being the greatest poet of medieval England, although, his work is not always understood. Chaucer's poetry also reflects many sources such as: Latin, French, and Italian, and also folk tales, sermons, rhetorical textbooks, and ribald jokes. His poems are narrated by naive persona and often left unfinished which allows the reader to become creative. His use of narrators is also key in his works; Chaucer's attitude can never be depicted because he stands behind his narrators which makes his narrators very effective.
